What skill or advice stuck with your swimmer the most?
The best story Connor [Jaeger] told was about how he wasn’t some teenage phenom like Michael Phelps or Missy Franklin. He got to college and realized he had a lot of competition and work to do to get better. Some teenage swimmers need to be reminded that it is worth all the work and there are many reasons to stick with swimming.
How would you describe a Fitter and Faster Clinic to others?
It’s like getting a back stage pass to a rock concert only, it’s the swim world rock stars! You get to “go backstage ” as it were, and get swag, met the star, get a picture with them, swim with them and most importantly ask them how they did it. You get lots of time with them and they clearly want to be there, so it’s a good experience all around.

Clark Burkle was great. He kept the kids interested, was very positive and had a lot of energy. He seemed to really want to be there and was enjoying himself. He would describe a drill in detail, he would perform it twice and then let the kids do it. He was giving TLC to a lot of swimmers who were struggling with it. The high fives and fist pumps were cool and the shaking of the hands with the kids after he raced them meant a lot. I think he has created some new breaststroke fans.

I thought it was great! I learned alot. My starts improved imediately. Chloe Sutton explained everything very clearly and helped everyone. I would recommend a Fitter and Faster swim clinic to anyone. I loved the swim clinic and hope to go to another one soon.

Clark [Burckle] was GREAT! My daughter learned a lot and cannot wait to implement it in her training. Clark was good with the kids and I thought he explained everything well.
My daughter is 9 years old and was very excited to attend her first clinic. It exceeded both our expectations. I’d recommend Clark as a clinician to any swimmer that was going to do a Fitter & Faster clinic!

Great event! My son loved learning about the swimming technique, but also the fun part of the event – racing against Bruno Fratus! F&A was also great, hearing from the Olympic swimmer about his routine, diet, how it all started. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Thank you so much for organizing it.

Jacie has a New Friend in Laura Sogar

When I showed up to the clinic I was nervous and shy. But by the time it was over, I felt more confident in my swimming and made new friends! I even felt like Laura Sogar was a new friend.

Jessica Long was AMAZING! My daughter has not stopped talking about the clinic. She took everything as a learning experience. She cannot wait to attend another clinic on a different topic. I highly encourage parents who have children even thinking about swimming competitively to take this clinic!
