Austin and Elvis have an excellent demeanor with the swimmers. They were personable with the staff at HBC and with all involved in the clinic. I greatly enjoyed watching them work and jumping in to assist when needed. They are star quality both in and out of the pool! I only attended day 2 where Elvis and Austin covered back and free. I use all of the drills presented during the clinic with my swimmers (it was wonderful confirmation that my coaching techniques are aligned with Olympians!). I liked the phrasing “library quiet” for kicking and focusing on the armpit for rotation. I emphasize technique and fine tuning of the stroke mechanics over speed. The progress of drills flowed nicely to emphasize certain and build on certain aspects.
