My daughter really enjoyed the two days. She felt like it was challenging in a good way and also extremely rewarding. She got tips and drills that she will definitely use when her short course season starts in a few weeks. Thank you! – Kate in Waterford, CT

I would 10/10 recommend this clinic to any competitive swimmer. Clark and Iago were excellent! They made my swimmer feel very comfortable and were able to explain tips, techniques, and drills in an easy and effective manner. Their energy made my swimmer want to do well and take away all that she could. – In Winston Salem, NC
First hand experience from a professional swimmer who can give you tips and techniques to improve your swimming.

We really enjoyed learning from Clark Smith and Iago Moussalem. They were excellent teachers and explained drills throughly. They explained the reasoning behind doing the drill and how it helps your overall stroke. They used every tool available and every way that people learn; verbal, visual (using a dry erase board), demos both on the deck and in the water. They made it clear that they were there to help. They were both approachable, welcomed questions during drills, and gave enjoyable real-life experience by telling stories about their journey and training. The swimmers were engaged and absorbed EVERYTHING! They really wanted to help each swimmer get better. They pulled out swimmers individually if needed to give them specific instruction to help them. I was really impressed with the clinic overall. – Tracie in Winston Salem, NC
1:1 attention and instruction

We drove a little over 3 hours each way to participate in the 2 sessions and it was worth it! Wyatt’s favorite stroke is butterfly, so I wasn’t sure if he would really benefit from it, but he learned a lot of small details that matter! He was even able to ask Clark what he could specifically work on in butterfly, and he gave him some good tips on his breathing and staying on the surface of the water even when he gets tired! For the sprinting session, I was thankful they focused on sprinting for all 4 strokes and not just freestyle. The drill that they did with the dead starts and sprinting from flag to flag was super cool to watch! We loved it so much, we signed Wyatt up for another camp in two weeks! – Kendall Coggins in Winston Salem, NC
An excellent opportunity to take your swimming to the next level alongside Olympians

We have already signed up for the next one which will be breaststroke and butterfly. Tristin really enjoyed the sessions on fast starts and turns and flips….so much so we will sign up to take it again in the future. – Shadale in Winston Salem, NC

I love how the clinician helped the participants & my daughter, point out their strengths and WHAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED, to be better swimmer in particular strokes. This camp was helpful because there were 12 participants and the clinician was able to watch each kids execute the drills and correct them as they perform the strokes. This camp is what is all about. Put right what a wrong habit has developed and changed it to better your skill. My daughter, Chloe, enjoyed the experience. – Chloe Hendrickson in Herndon, VA

This is a fun, engaging program that teaches very important swimming techniques by a very enthusiastic and technically competent clinician. My kids appreciate that the clinician went in the water with them and gave everyone tips and encouragement. The clinician knows the strokes inside and out and my kids were so excited to come. The stories about his training, competitive elite swim experiences were enjoyable and very insightful. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to improve their competitive swimming techniques. It was a fabulous learning experience and we will definitely be back for more clinics! – Christine Cochrane in Potomac, MD

It was an amazing events. Kids were able to see and learn from a real Olympic swimmer who told them his story of success and explained to them in details a lot of strategies and techniques and gave many advises. – Diana Gangal in Staten Island, NY

Several of us were attending for the first time. We weren’t sure what exactly to expect – guessing that it would be quite a lot of swimming: laps and laps… especially for the kids who attended multiple sessions per day, but there was such a focus on technique – small improvements that add up to big improvements. There were several discussions outside of the pool – some being a little “feely” like about feeling the energy of the water and how to relax and use the physics of the water to your advantage. Several times in each session, Josh would get in the water and demonstrate small changes to his stroke, while the kids looked on and guessed what he changed – a really nice touch. – Scott in Concord, MA
