My 12yo daughter rated her experience a 4. She said "It wasn't, like, awesome. Like, OMG, I got soooo much out of that, but it was better than a 3". In the coach's defence, she has a very good stroke already, so finding something revelational was unlikely.
From a parent's perspective, I'm not unhappy with the experience. The coach was very knowledgeable with some impressive experience as a swimmer, and a successful coach. My daughter was shown drills to work on that I believe will make her a better/faster swimmer in the future, so there were positives to take out of the experience.
3.5 hours may have been too much for her, she was losing focus by the end of it. My bad as a parent I guess.
I recently completed a swimming clinic with Sam as my instructor and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Sam's knowledge and expertise were apparent from the moment we began the session. He provided excellent insights and tips on how to improve my freestyle stroke, which has always been a bit of a challenge for me.
The clinic was not only informative, but also very enjoyable. Sam created a relaxed and positive atmosphere, which made it easy to learn and ask questions. I appreciated how Sam took the time to break down the various components of the freestyle stroke and provide clear cues and drills to correct my form.
The foundation of knowledge and tips that Sam provided gives me the confidence and skills to swim faster and more efficiently. I've already noticed a difference in the water this afternoon after the 6:30am session!
Overall, I highly recommend this swimming clinic to anyone looking to improve their freestyle ability.
