Having Sara McLarty as my coach was the absolute BEST decision I've made as a triathlete. I couldn't have been better prepared for my first 70.3 race. My training is customized for me based on what I need to achieve my goals. I am amazed at how much my swim, bike, and run has improved since I started with SLAP. Thank you Sara!

Before becoming a Slapper, swimming was not enjoyable and it was something that I do because triathlon is part of my life. Now, I really like swimming and I'm looking forward to the next triathlon race. I believe I will be able to leave the water in a better shape and execute the bike and run as planned. I'm so thankful to coach Sara for all improvement achieved in only two months as a SLAPPER.

Coach Sara is patient, and explains and demonstrates everything so well. I am SO happy that I decided to do the lessons, and also swim with the masters group! If you are looking for personalized help with stroke technique I very highly recommend Coach Sara and her expertise. It is time and money well spent.

Coach Sara is amazing! She helped me learn how to navigate steep hills with patience, kindness, and unwavering support. She is incredibly encouraging and creates a judgment-free environment where I never felt “less than” or embarrassed, despite my limitations. Her guidance gave me both the skills and confidence I needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve!

Coach Sara has been amazing. Sara identified areas of opportunity in my swimming technique and help me correct them. Without her guidance and help I would not have had the confidence to execute my first open water swims and triathlon.
