Walked away feeling more confident!
October 6th, 2020
My daughter walked away feeling more confident in her backstroke. She received feedback and small corrections that she can continue to apply long after the clinic was done. We have known Amy for over 9 years and my daughter was so excited to swim with Amy again. I am Amy’s former high school coach and Amy worked with my daughter when she was 3 on backstroke. This event was amazing. Your positivity and encouragement was greatly needed. My daughter was so happy and tired after each day. You helped her confidence grow and she now has a positive outlook on her IM’s. Backstroke is her weakest stroke. Thank you for making it fun!

Amy & Cierra were fantastic. They were knowledgeable & easy to understand. They were friendly & very approachable. I can’t say enough about both of them. Thank you very very much for a very informative & positive experience.

I enjoyed the 1:1 time with Amy & Cierra

Great experience with Amy and Cierra!! They were both approachable before, after and during the sessions. Helping the swimmers, giving praise throughout the succession of drills and constructive feedback in a fun group way. My swimmer keyed in one these 3 components and shared them with other backstroker’s at practice on Monday. Kick is most important should be narrow and fast knees under the water, rotisserie chicken for how the body should be positioned and moving in the water and on starts hands, head and hips. She also loved the no saggy booties example when doing the canoe drill. That got a lot of laughs at practice.
I’m in my 4th year of coaching and attending a clinic like this one reinforced that I’m teaching my 12 & under correctly while at the same time learned some fun new ways to explain those drills. Would entertain attending more of the fitter & faster clinics with my swimmers but there just doesn’t seem to be that many taught in AZ. Traveling distances with adding those costs prohibits my swimmers from attending.
As a coach attending with my swimmer I enjoyed the 1:1 time with Amy & Cierra before everyone else arrived.

Great camp. We were excited to get our son in the water given all the craziness of COVID-19. He had a great time and learned a lot. Plus he got to swim in an amazing facility and meet famous swimmers. All around win. We would definitely sign him up again in the future.

3rd Fitter and Faster Clinic!
October 5th, 2020
Can’t say enough about these clinics. During a time when our son is lucky to get pool time, due to COVID-19, and there are no swim meets. These clinics help break things up and he get world class training. He had a blast!

Kat and Kristen, did a superb job in connecting with kids
September 1st, 2020
The breakdown of the freestyle into several drills and then put together provided my daughter an ability to significantly improve her skills. The clinicians, Kat and Kristen, did a superb job in connecting with kids and provided them guidance on how the stroke works. Their ability to connect with the participants was beyond as they showed an exceptional ability to translate their knowledge in the understandable terms to these young swimmers. I just want to restate again my gratitude to the clinicians, Kat Simonovic and Kristen Anderson, and applaud their exceptional ability to connect with swimmers and translate their knowledge that helped my daughter significantly improve her freestyle technique. Their people skills and maturity are, without a doubt, beyond their age.

Job well done!
September 1st, 2020
Job well done! We attended the Irvine Freestyle Clinic with Dylan Carter and Amy Bilquist and both were amazing. They were great with the kids, jumped in the pool with them, and were encouraging and clinical in their instruction. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the experience and a big part of if had to do with the coaches and how it was managed. The coaches were inclusive and kept a positive and energetic attitude that helped keep the kids motivated. They were excellent coaches, and to think that they are actual current national and Olympic quality swimmers, was amazing. We look forward to attending another clinic…hopefully with Amy or Dylan!

Perfect ending for summer swimming this year!
September 1st, 2020
Jason’s team had a reduced practice schedule due to the COVID. Thankfully, there’s Fitter and Faster camps. Jason quickly regained his strength and refreshed his skills by attending the camps since June. The Boot camp in the end of August just made a perfect ending for summer swimming this year. We certainly will come back for more camps next year.
