When I first signed up for Ironman I could barely swim at all. I tried teaching myself, but I was getting nowhere fast. I decided to get a coach and Mark came highly recommended. Mark not only helped me with my stoke and made me a better swimmer, but he mentally prepared me for Ironman.

Mark's open water swim class was the best training I did for Ironman. My swimming dramatically improved and I was able to finish the swim portion of Ironman in less time that I had planned. The best part of Mark's swim class is the camaraderie and the relationships I built with the other people in the class, which I came to believe is what the Ironman experience is all about. Without Mark's help and guidance I would never have made it to the starting line of Ironman Wisconsin, let alone the finish line. Thanks Mark!!
