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
“The camp brought out the best in the swimmers in terms of work ethic and drive”
August 19th, 2021
“Thank you” doesn’t cut it! Diego and Solana loved every minute of these camps, and that is because of Tyler and Kim’s commitment to making the camp meaningful, worthwhile and fun. It was challenging in the best way – the camp brought out the best in the swimmers in terms of work ethic and drive. Kim and Tyler each had well-planned lessons that got to the heart of each skill, and it was clear that they had spent significant time preparing to teach the swimmers. Additionally, I was truly blown away by how well the clinicians related to the kids, and how they really valued them as individuals. Diego and Solana truly adored Kim and Tyler, and continue to look up to them and talk about their experience. We are all so grateful for the opportunity to have our kids work with these world-class swimmers, who are also world-class people. This is a memory the kids will always cherish, and they will apply the lessons they learned for years to come, both in and out of the pool. – Joie Cariaga, Nampa, ID
My daughter came away feeling confident and learned a lot!

Clark Smith was a wonderful clinician who explained technique, skills, and strategy with relatable personal experience. My daughter came away feeling confident and learned a lot of new adjustments to her technique. He was also super nice and welcoming, totally approachable. I recommend this clinic to anyone – Maki Duncan, Potomac, MD
The instructors were very attentive
June 22nd, 2021
My grandson Wyatt had a great two days. The instructors were very attentive. In particular, the male helped him a lot with his diving. On our way home he remarked that he was a good teacher. When I asked why he said, “Because he was very kind to me.” Diving is not Wyatt’s strength so that meant a lot to both of us. Thank you
The clinicians made an impact on our son

Dolphin kicking as well as starts and turns.
, he came home and made notes on what he learned, just as they asked him to. Joey & Chris interacted well and answered my son’s questions afterwards 1 on 1. Very impressive young men….They did a good job in communicating with campers. Joey and Chris were very personable and made the kids comfortable. Really impressed with them answering my sons questions on dolphin kicking after the clinic and the time they spent with him.
Absolutely thrilled with the experience
June 22nd, 2021
My son came home from the camp absolutely thrilled with the experience- he dropped nearly a second off his 50 free that weekend. Having confidence in himself is a huge struggle usually, but he was so proud of himself for that.
My thanks to both of them – speaking as a coach myself, they’re amazing teachers!!
Please come back soon!
June 22nd, 2021
The work on flip turns was outstanding. The drills were communicated clearly and the instructors were kind and concise. My swimmer soaked up every single bit of information and is practicing the new techniques daily!…..Thank you, THANK YOU! You both were wonderful and we are so grateful for all of the work you fit in an hour and a half. It was awesome for my swimmer to meet you and get advice and coaching from collegiate and Olympic swimmers! We hope you both come back to Nashville – we can’t wait for the next clinic!!!
Individual help and evaluations
June 8th, 2021
The many different drills that were taught were easily understood and my daughter was able to perform them there and take them home with her to practice and improve her strokes.
This was the best and most informative fitter faster clinic she has attended. The clinic was small so each swimmer got individual help and evaluations. Coach Stickles was very encouraging and took time to answer all questions ranging from strokes to college swimming. We will attend any clinics he leads in the future.
