Amazing Job!
August 24th, 2021
Tate and Dax did an amazing job keeping the clinic running smoothly while engaging every participant. Their enthusiasm and knowledge of the sport, along with the personal experiences they share was extremely valuable. My son has been to a number of camps and clinics as a swimmer. He says this one is at the top of his list. Amazing job!! -Tammy, Dallas
“My children definitely applied what they just learned in the clinic”
August 19th, 2021
Brett Hawke and Austin Surhoff worked extremely well together because they respect each other. and they were amazing in how they shared their knowledge and time with the kids. I had two swimmers attend the High Performance Starts, Turns, and Freestyle Camp in late June at Haven Beach, NJ. Both my 7-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son learned a lot from Brett and Austin during their 3-day clinic, and my children definitely applied what they just learned in the clinic during the summer swim season. Brett and Austin not only shared their swimming techniques but also their personal experiences like how to handle nerves on race day, pick a goal, work hard for it, and continue to push yourself hard through training. The kids asked a lot of questions, and Brett and Austin were happy to answer them. As a parent, I enjoyed listening to their Q&A sessions toward the end of each clinic. –Teresa Barry, Haven Beach, NJ
I learned a lot!
August 19th, 2021
After missing a whole summer due to the pandemic, this was my first year swimming 50s. My coaches tried to explain turns to me but Amini was amazing and I finally understand them and how to feel fast! I definitely learned a lot about how to execute my turns to improve my overall breaststroke time! – Vergennes, VT
“Came away motivated and could actually put the skills to use”
August 19th, 2021
Thank you for an engaging 2 days. The mix of fun and the energy of the clinicians helped my 10 year old boy stay focused and engaged. He came away motivated and could actually put the skills to use as the clinicians effectively communicated them in language that his age could understand. Also, thank you for taking the time after the session to display your awards, to sign caps, talk with the kids and take pictures. That in of itself made my son so happy! – Elaine, Charlotte, NC
“I wish my son’s practices were held with this much attention to detail and valuable feedback”
August 19th, 2021
Both Brett and Keri had excellent communication skills…they spoke loudly and clearly, making it easy for everyone in the pool to hear them. They were also friendly and approachable! Very well run and had meaningful content…I wish my son’s practices were held with this much attention to detail and valuable feedback. We will take more clinics in the future to supplement his swim training! – Irvine, CA
“Left the clinic with lots of take aways and ready to apply what they learned”
August 19th, 2021
Both Coach Stickels and Coach P were awesome! They were generous with there time and they had great insights to offer. I would definitely return to a camp that either of them put on!! The Boys left the clinic with lots of take aways and ready to apply what they learned. – Alisanne Steele, Oakley, CA [13 years old]
Very Motivating!
August 19th, 2021
The coaches were amazing at breaking down strokes and turns. My son has been swimming competitively for over two years and learned some butterfly techniques that were new to him. Plus it was very exciting to be coached by someone that had recently made it to the Olympic trials…..that was very motivating! – Carla, Denver

Nick was amazing. He was positive and enthusiastic. He explained the drills clearly and gave tons of feedback to the swimmers. Carlos demonstrated all the drills in the water giving the swimmers a good visual. The two worked well together and their personal stories let the kids know that things won’t always be perfect but if they stay tough, persevere and don’t give up they can accomplish great things. I would highly recommend. – Deborah, Columbus, OH
“Took away something that they will remember and add to their swim game”
August 19th, 2021
“A big thanks. Gannon, Grady and Miles all have been at numerous camps often they respond when questioned about what they learned the reason and “stuff”. This camp each of them took away something that they will remember and add to their swim game.” – Ian Moore, Warren, PA [16 years old]
“We will definitely be attending more swim clinics in the future!”
August 19th, 2021
My son attended a swim clinic with Olympic Gold Medalist Clark Smith. He learned so much in regards to stroke technique. Clark Smith also gave inspiration to my son, in regards to his body growing so quickly, his muscles not developing with his body, & having to adjust his stroke technique frequently, Smith went through the same thing as a swimmer. We will definitely be attending more swim clinics in the future! –Anne Dragic, Potomac, MD
