    We are excited to offer a swim clinic for Adult swimmers and triathletes who seek speed, efficiency and confidence in the water.

    Perfect for aspiring beginners and seasoned racers, this clinic will help you dial in the fundamentals of your stroke, making every future training session that much more effective.

    Prior to the clinic, participants should have basic swim skills, and able to complete 25 yards without stopping, assistance or the use of gear. We recommend that participants are able to complete a swim session of at least 500 yards upon arrival to the clinic.

    This Pool swim clinic will be held at the Green Meadows Country Club in Alcoa, TN. The focus will be on improving swim technique in a controlled pool environment. Swimmers will leave with improved breathing, balance, timing and propulsion skills.

    BONUS Webinar - Join us online Tuesday 24 February at 7 pm ET for a free online educational session, with videos, explanation of concepts and few skills you can practice prior to arriving at the Pool. We'll get in the water faster and have more time to practice in the pool!

    This year, the 15th annual Butterfly Run will be staged to help some of East Tennessee’s biggest miracles by partnering with Friends of Tennessee’s Babies with Special Needs (our third Butterfly Run). The Butterfly Fund family is honored to be working alongside this wonderful organization again this year to continue the event so many of you have supported for the past 14 years. This year, we will again stage our event in the beautiful foothills of Maryville on March 28, 2026. Proceeds will go to support Friends of Tennessee’s Babies with Special Needs. This incredible organization works to enhance the potential of infants and young children with disabilities by offering support to their families and the early intervention professionals who serve them.

    We are incredibly excited to invite you to mark your calendar for March the 28th to join us for FOT Babies' third annual Butterfly Run. Every mile completed, and every dollar raised means over 3,500 Tennessee children with special needs and their families will receive the support, resources and encouragement they need. More details about this year’s event will be coming soon. We look forward to joining you to celebrate and support East Tennessee’s babies with special needs!
