We were thankful for the skills and advice Giles Smith shared with our son. He had amazing tips and tricks. He was wonderful with the students. My son learned a great deal from this experience. – Sarah in Baltimore, OH

It is a well run, positive camp that provides good instruction that the child and parent can use for future training.

Giles provided good instruction on the proper way to streamline, how to flip turn, how to open turn, and how to finish races. Some of the details of these things I did not know and my child certainly didn’t know. So I can now reinforce to my child how to do these things moving forward. Emmett certainly was listening and I’m hoping will try to apply these things to his practices and races. I’m hoping it helps his confidence. – Eric in Baltimore, OH

Great tips given to improve all aspects of swim strokes that were covered. Helpful feedback in specific to my swimmer. Positive attitude but honest and high expectations. Interesting to hear from instructor about his first hand experience at Olympic trials last week. – Tiffany in Yorba Linda, CA

The Camp Was Fantastic!

Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful swimming experience. Your organization stands out not only for its excellent service and kind hospitality, but also for its complete approach to conducting swim camps across North America, bringing outstanding swimmers to the masses. We arrived at the swim camp with “an empty cup,” not expecting to figure anything out but hoping to have fun, meet new swimmers, and learn something new. By the end of the program, the cup was full with new, useful, tried-and-true, honest, and creative ideas and strategies. Aside from the training sessions, it was great to hear the life story of a successful swimmer who tailors each child’s experience. It was fantastic! – Jasmina OLUIC in Victor, NY

The Clinician gave our daughter so many helpful technique tweaks that helped connect the dots on what her coach has been telling her. Sometimes it just takes a fresh perspective. He was amazing and we would definitely consider going to another clinic with him again. Thank you. – Carla Carpenter in Sonoma, CA

Really enjoyed the camp and came away with a lot that I don’t get by watching videos on YouTube.

My daughters had so much fun learning from Cierra and Ryan. This is their second camp with Cierra and they were ecstatic to see her again. Ryan brought the laughs and fun for sure. We love fitter, faster because it is such a good time and they always learn a ton.I know both of my daughters got a lot out of it. Jerzey kept saying how happy she was to learn more race strategy and pacing for the longer sprints. Amara keeps talking about her breaststroke technique and laughing about serving food while swimming. Hopefully we will see you both in the future. Thank you so very much. We hope to keep attending future camps in Wasilla. – Dakota Lonewolf in Wasilla, AK

Wonderful job! My child was able to clearly explain to me the three bad habits he corrected in your camp. Can’t wait to see how this translates into dropped times in the pool. 🙂 – Palatine, IL

Deklan had such a wonderful time and it was nice to hear that some of the struggles he has been experiencing are similar to the struggles that they each had. He came out of the camp with a renewed vigor and excitement for competitive swimming. – Kristopher Hadden in Wasilla, AK

Thanks for providing such a positive experience for the kids.

First, the two instructors gave the kids so much good information. In order to reinforce the concepts, they also communicated the information in different ways so that the kids could visualize it better. Second, they actually got in the water, and demonstrated the correct body positioning. They even repeated the demonstrations several times, so that the kids could first view it above the water, and then view it underwater using their goggles. Third, when it was the kids turn to practice the drills, the instructors gave immediate 1-1 feedback. That trifecta of swim training is what sets Fitter and Faster clinics above the others that we’ve tried.

Plus, the instructors (Santiago and Brandon) put a lot of effort into the clinic, and really cared about helping the kids get better. Most of all, we liked how the instructors stressed the importance of mental focus. They told the kids how important it is to think; both while actively swimming a lap, and outside the pool (by keeping a notebook). My son was engaged throughout the 2.5 hour clinics, had fun, and learned so much. – San Jose, CA
