We drove from Texas to Indianapolis for the specific purpose of attending the freestyle clinic with Maxime Rooney and he did NOT disappoint. He was engaging, INFORMATIVE, interested, energetic but calm and was involved with the swimmers as well as making parents feel welcome to stay and observe the clinic. The swimmers really benefited from his involvement in the water and he even asked them if they wanted him to get in the water again the second day or if they wanted him to help from the pool deck, and they unanimously voted for him to help in the water again. They all loved him and he was easy to listen to. He commanded respect in a gentle way and was highly effective in motivating and instructing them. I watched the entire clinic over both days and I was impressed with his assistance. – in Indianapolis, IN
