Both my children followed the directions of the clinicians and wrote down everything that they learned from the clinic as well as the drills that were performed. There were many technical aspects that were retained (e.g. elbows cannot pass the head/timing of the breaststroke…). But additionally, it was very inspirational to them to hear that it took time for the clinicians to evolve and grow into Olympians. They did not peak at 12-13, but rather later. Very inspirational talk about not giving up, learning from failures and disappointments, skills can be carried to other aspects of life. They have combined over 8 pages of notes! I was not expecting such a well structured clinic, with strong emphasis on breaking down the stroke into small increments. My son said this was the inspiration he needed to get back in the pool and work hard. My daughter was inspired to hear that Olympians also get nervous, miss goals, and get discouraged.

We will attend every camp we can!
They did a great job making the swimmers feel welcome!
