First, the two instructors gave the kids so much good information. In order to reinforce the concepts, they also communicated the information in different ways so that the kids could visualize it better. Second, they actually got in the water, and demonstrated the correct body positioning. They even repeated the demonstrations several times, so that the kids could first view it above the water, and then view it underwater using their goggles. Third, when it was the kids turn to practice the drills, the instructors gave immediate 1-1 feedback. That trifecta of swim training is what sets Fitter and Faster clinics above the others that we’ve tried.
Plus, the instructors (Santiago and Brandon) put a lot of effort into the clinic, and really cared about helping the kids get better. Most of all, we liked how the instructors stressed the importance of mental focus. They told the kids how important it is to think; both while actively swimming a lap, and outside the pool (by keeping a notebook). My son was engaged throughout the 2.5 hour clinics, had fun, and learned so much. – San Jose, CA
