In this episode of the Effortless Swimming Podcast, we have Sara McLarty. She is a professional triathlete and a swimming coach based in Clermont, Florida.

In December, I’ll be with Sara running the swim section at the Triathlon Research Camp in Florida with Gwen Jorgensen (one of the most successful WTS triathletes of all time) and her coach Jamie Turner.
