Fitter and Faster was a great experience for my son, but also for me. The amount of learning that took place in two sessions was unbeatable. Not only are we learning from a professional athlete in the sport of swimming, but the knowledge that they bring to the pool is undeniable. The importance of dryland training and nutrition were a big part of the camp and the role they play in becoming a better swimmer. The drills were broken down perfectly and each skill was isolated and practiced (i.e., legs, arms, breathing). Each drill was demonstrated and the swimmers were able to explain what they noticed in the demonstration and apply it to their own practice. After each isolation and practice, the swimmers were able to put it all together. It was clear the progress that was being made. The focus was not on speed itself, but if you have the right technique, it will lead you to be better and faster. The clinicians were very attentive to all the swimmers and when they noticed something that needed to be corrected, they approached the swimmer positively, helped them correct their stroke, watched them make the correction and provide more feedback. My son will definitely attend another Fitter and Faster swim camp in the future! – Brooke in Waterloo, ON
