The TRIFEST Conference is a free two-day event in Tucson, Arizona on March 6th – 7th that will cover a wide range of topics to benefit multisport athletes, coaches and race directors. The free conference is open to the general public.

TRIFEST offers running, cycling and swimming information and kicks off three weekends in March to provide opportunities to learn information from the world of running, cycling and swimming from a multitude of coaches, athletes, manufacturers and training experts.

Steven Munatones, a coach at the 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 World Swimming Championships and coach at the 2004 World Open Water Swim Championships, will give a presentation on The Tactics of Open Water Swimming where attendees can learn what the world’s best open water swimmers look for, think about and do during races and its implications for triathletes as well as the latest trends, techniques and training methodologies of the top open water swimmers around the world.

Pool and open water swimmers, endurance athletes, multi-sport athletes and interested fans will see videos of world championship races and observe specific racing tactics of Olympic medalists and world champions. They will also hear how these tactics are practiced in a pool (via POW or Pool Open Water Training) so the tactics can be easily and quickly utilized during a race.
