Coaching Pro Triathlete Jozsef Major

Today, I had the distinct pleasure of coaching an Ironman Champion in our Master Spas Michael Phelps endless pool.  Joszef Major has been working with Frank and Sole Swim Solutions for quite some time, but today I was able to work with him on his technique.  No pictures, just a completely awesome opportunity that I can put on my resume.  He is a very gracious, humble, and gifted athlete that took every bit of advice and immediately put it to use.  In case you want to check him out for yourself, here are a couple of links to his Facebook pages.
