Kate Gladding

Mark is my swimming "guru". I learned to swim when I was 5 years old but my technique was all wrong. When I started doing triathlons, I joined Master's swim classes and trained 3 times a week--but I never improved. It seemed I was getting better at swimming the wrong way!

Mark helped me to "unlearn" my bad habits. He patiently dissected my stroke and gave me drills to do until I could actually "feel" the correct way to swim. Because of Mark, I now feel comfortable and confident when swimming and my times have improved too.

I think Mark is the absolute "best" and recommend him to anyone that wants to be a better swimmer.
