Joao is an amazing coach! Working with kids can be hard, I was extremely impressed with the way he was able coach all the different skill levels of kids without any level being left out or going under served! He is such a humble guy, I know my kids couldn’t wait to chat him up about his career and all of the competitors he has faced in the pool! Thank you Joao for offering your stories, your passion, your knowledge, your skills and your encouragement to a generation of future swimmers who will forever remember the time when you helped them swim faster, dream bigger and understand the sport of swimming a little better! – Russ in Johnston, IA

My son was so excited after the camp. The instructor inspired my son to be a better swimmer. Well worth the money. – Gloria Calk in Portland, TX

am so pleased for this camp. My son was a late joiner to swim and immediately joined with older kids. Not only did this camp help his skills in areas that had been missed earlier, the coaches had phenomenal rapor with the kids. They were funny, they had great stories that I think the kids picked up the key points … they emphasized the kids at that age need to be their own coaches and critique themselves, not just mindlessly put in the yardage until coaches give them feedback. They spoke about the “why” of their drills and feedback, which for this age group was really great. Very pleased! – San Antonio, TX
We drove 3-1/2 hours just for this camp, and it was SO worth it

My 10-year-old daughter loved the Explosive Performance Camp with Molly Hannis and Tommy McCarthy. She was so excited, yet nervous, to meet them and work with them. This camp really boosted her confidence with her turns, and she feels she has already gotten faster. We are signing her up for two more Fitter and Faster Camps right away! We hope to make this a regular part of her training. We love that the camps are held on the weekends as that makes it much easier for us to travel to them. We also love that they are only 2-1/2 hour sessions, so that she doesn’t get burned out, overtired or start to lose focus/interest. She was so thrilled to be able to swim alongside a female Olympian! As soon as we got home, she started looking up Molly Hannis swimming videos on YouTube, and she was even shopping for U of M gear to represent Tommy’s team! Thank you so much for an inspiring camp! Our daughter, Izzy, just LOVED the camp with Molly Hannis and Tommy McCarthy! We drove 3-1/2 hours just for this camp, and it was SO worth it. She definitely has a confidence boost after training with a female Olympic swimmer and getting feedback directly from her. She said both coaches were really nice. When I asked if she liked the camp, she said, “No, I LOVED it!” She is incredibly shy, so for her to do this camp on her own (i.e., without any teammates or friends), was huge for her, and the fact that she wants to do it again says ALOT about the coaches. She even answered Molly’s question at the very end of camp, which is huge for her, usually she remains silent! – Kaitlin in Inver Grove, MN

The clinicians, Joao and Kat, worked really well with the students. As one would speak, the other would monitor the individual swimmers. Their coordinated approach allowed each swimmer to received one-on-one feedback. The clinicians’ holistic teaching style provided expert insight into several area’s of swimming; technique, strategy, diet and mental strength. – David in Joliet, IL

Thank you for not making the swimmers feel rushed. You genuinely wanted them to ask questions and talk with you. Your desire to share your love for swimming was palpable. – Melissa in Dallas, TX
Skills from a foundational level to a race strategy!

The camps do a great job on building skills from a foundational level to a race strategy. My swimmer also really likes that the suggestions are simple – not to overhaul, but to focus on one or two things that will really make a big difference – Zara Kinsella in Western Springs, IL

An amazing job, the skill training was very good and they were also very good at communicating with the kids. The coaches/clinicians were very good, professional, knowledgeable, interactive, exhibited the ability to tailer their communication to the audience. – Dallas, TX
I already see improvement just from the two sessions!
