Become a Clinician
Being a Fitter & Faster clinician is more than stepping on deck to teach technique—it’s about inspiring swimmers, growing professionally, and staying deeply connected to the sport in a truly meaningful way.
Whether you’re an Olympian, NCAA champion, national qualifier, or experienced coach, Fitter & Faster gives you the platform to create real impact—and gain just as much in return.
“My 10 years spent as a Fitter & Faster Elite Clinician was one of the most rewarding times of my life.”
– Chloe Sutton, Two-Time Olympian & longtime FFT Clinician
Fitter & Faster clinicians have included Olympic medalists, NCAA champions, All-Americans, national team members, and U.S. Olympic Trials and NCAA qualifiers. But what unites everyone on our team is a shared passion for teaching, mentoring, and helping swimmers grow both in and out of the water.
We don’t just hire the fastest swimmers—we hire the best teachers. We look for clinicians who can break down complex skills, connect with athletes of all levels, and turn their experience into real, relatable instruction that sticks. Being able to communicate, adapt, and inspire is just as important as a gold medal.
At each camp, clinicians work with athletes of all ages and experience levels—from kids just learning the basics to high-level club swimmers refining elite racing skills. That diversity sharpens communication, builds adaptability, and deepens each clinician’s ability to connect.

“Being a clinician with Fitter & Faster has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my coaching journey. It’s allowed me to travel across the country, meet amazing swimmers and families, and give back to the sport that’s shaped so much of who I am.”
– Joao Mescolote, Veteran FFT Clinician & Former Brazilian National Swimmer

It’s not just about swimming—it’s about confidence, discipline, and helping young athletes discover their potential both in and out of the water.
“At every clinic, I get the chance to help young athletes build confidence, refine their skills, and see swimming as more than just a sport—it’s a vehicle for growth, discipline, and self-belief. I always leave events energized and inspired, knowing we’re helping shape not just faster swimmers, but stronger people.”
– Joao Mescolote
“Fitter & Faster has meant a lot to me over the years. It started as a fun job, but it’s become a place where I can share what I’ve learned and help the next generation of swimmers become even better than we were.”
– Nick Thoman, Olympic Gold Medalist & World Record Holder
For many FFT clinicians, the role is also deeply personal—a way to give back to the same camps that helped shape their own swimming careers.
“Having participated in an FFT clinic when I was 14, it means the world to me that I get to educate the next generation of young swimmers and help them fall in love with the sport.”
– Andrew Appleby, NCAA Qualifier & FFT Clinician
