Suzy Favor Hamilton

Mark has been an incredible help to me. I wanted to do more cross training and a friend recommended Mark's swim class to me. Wow it is an amazing workout and he gives you so much encouragement. I'm now taking private lesson with him to learn to be a more effective swimmer. Mark is not only a great coach and teacher but a wonderful friend.
