I had taken 3 or 4 sessions from you over the course of the last 10 months or so. I did not have a competitive swimming background at all, and had not swam laps prior to December, 2006. I just completed the Silverman full distance triathlon on Sunday, with a swim time of 1:21. I was very pleased with the time, and thank you guys for helping me to learn the right techniques, so that I didn't come out of the water spent, but was able to enjoy that part of the event much more than I would have thought. I had a half iron distance swim time of :33 in September, for which I was also very happy. Swimming may not be my strength, but I now also don't consider it a weakness. Thank you,

Hi, Giff,SwimLabs Fly Image This is Jeanette Gryskevich from West Virginia who came in 2 weeks ago and worked with me on my left arm and keeping my legs together. Well, I have had 2 practices with those drills and I have taken 15 seconds off my time already!! I am so excited. My next triathlon is August 25 with a 330 yard swim with a time no longer than 9:50. Last year, my time was 9:30, today it was 9:15. I hope to shave off maybe 5-10 more seconds off. Thanks, again,

Jeanette

“ Swim efficiency is most important in swimming. The solution? Get consistent stroke feedback. This is the only way to find and maintain a good stroke. Going by feel doesn't’t cut it in the pool.”

Triathlete Magazine, May 2006.

"Meredith, I just had to let you know how well Harrison has been doing with his swimming while we’ve been in Breckenridge. The whole reason I wanted Harrison in particular to participate in Swim Jam was to him get comfortable in the water before our vacation. We’ve taken both Hannah and Harrison swimming every single day at least twice a day since we’ve been here, and Harrison is actually swimming! He can’t seem to get enough of it. I couldn't’t have even expected this much of an improvement, and I give every ounce of credit to the instructors who have worked with him over those last two weeks. “Your facility and instruction were great...in one session I cut 4 minutes off my 2000 meter time and eliminated all my shoulder and lower back fatigue. My body thanks you. Great job, you guys.”

Deric Swanson, triathlete.

“Because the student swims in place against an adjustable current, it is easy for a coach to improve stroke mechanics. The current accentuates the advantages of good technique, and the underwater swim mirror provides instant feedback on your stroke technique and body rotation. It’s a lot of fun.”

Rowdy Gaines, Olympic Gold Medalist.

"SwimLabs offers a unique environment for instruction in stroke technique. The combination of the underwater mirrors and high resolution video provides immediate feedback, and I was able to make stroke improvements rapidly. The staff at SwimLabs are superb! After several years of stagnating swimming times, SwimLabs helped me correct some flaws, and after just a few sessions, I recorded my best ever time as a masters swimmer! I highly recommend swim labs for swimmers at levels. "

“I’ve had 4 sessions in the endless pool and every time they’ve taken video and showed me exactly what I was doing wrong. I could see it and fix it. I’m getting better and my times are coming down.”

Ellen, 14-year old competitive swimmer.

OK, so I’m totally beaming! Please tell Laurie thank you a million times over. Reilley got All-Stars by over 1 second in 50 Free today. She has consistently shave 3-4 seconds off of her 50-Free time every meet since the season began. We attribute a great deal of this to Laurie’s teaching. Her 9th birthday is tomorrow and what a great present! Have I mentioned how out-of-this-world proud of her I am? Anyway, please tell Laurie THANKS! We will see her next week for lessons and Reilley remains focused on her goal of making HRA in the fall.

Hello- I wanted to say thank you for all that you did to get my two daughters “pool ready”. We just returned from our vacation in Arizona and they both became fish…;-). They love the water and we’re all more comfortable thanks to the personalized instruction they received. Tracy

Hi Mike & Giff Our 8 year old daughter, Cami, began her private lessons with you June 25, 2008 to improve her times in her Freestyle and Breaststrokes. She was swimming in a Summer League and when she began with you her times during the season had been deteriorating despite her goal of qualifying for the All Stars with at least one qualifying time. I’d like to share with you the improvement of her times during the course of the past month: 25 Free: Before lessons, best time of 21:01 Championships, 19.43 (All Stars qualifying time is 20:80) 50 Free: Before lessons, best time 55:33 Championships, 44:47 (All Stars qualifying time is 48:10) 25 Breast: Before lessons, best time of 30:53 Championships, 25:89 (All Stars qualifying time is 28:10) Cami is absolutely ecstatic about these results (and so are her parents)!! She not only achieved All Star status in one event, but she will be swimming in all three All Star events next saturday in Castle Rock. We are big believers in SwimLabs and the Swim Technique theory. We were truly amazed with the dramatic change in results after just 4 private lessons!!! We will definitely be back next year before the summer season!!! Thanks again Giff & Mike, we really appreciate everything you did for Cami. The results were phenomenal! Diane

Hi Mike, just wanted to let you know that after working with you, my son, Cooper, bettered ALL his times in his following swim meet. Then, this past weekend, after several attempts, he was finally able to make his SECTIONAL time for the mile!!! We’re going to Texas next week for the big meet, so…we just wanted to say a BIG thank you! Char

Hi Michael - Jack finished FIRST in the 50 and 100 free at the City Meet last weekend and shaved 7.5 seconds off his 50 from the beginning of the season and then 6 seconds off his best 100 free time... he was thrilled! . Luke did well too (5th place in 25 free) but didn't have a great City meet - I think he was a bit nervous!! Not bad for a first season though!! We are really grateful to you, your staff and the excellent support and coaching. Thanks for all your help with the boys. We are big believers in Swim Labs! We'll be back in the water after a couple of weeks (boys are having their tonsils out this week...) -Anne 50yd Freestyle ( 8 and under) Varsity City Meet 8/8/2010 44.19 50yd Freestyle ( 8 and under) Hiawatha Davis 7/9/2010 50.50 50yd Freestyle ( 8 and under) Rude Meters 6/18/2010 52.31 50yd Freestyle ( 8 and under) Southwest 7/17/2010 52.65 100yd Freestyle ( 8 and under) Varsity City Meet 8/8/2010 1:48.15 100yd Freestyle ( 8 and under) Last Chance 7/31/2010 1:54.02

Michael, We missed you at Nationals last week. I think the only persons just a bit happy for you deciding not to attend was your competition, but even they probably wanted a chance to improve themselves with your competitiveness in the pool. I must thank you so much for a couple of things. first, the swimlabs session one month ago put me on the positive stroke-correction path and even in such a little time, I was able to improve my body position and technique. Second, I appreciate you letting me use the blue70 suit; it too helped me be competitive with all the other swimmers wearing the technical suits. Combined, most of my swims were faster than what I swam in college and I am excited to continue improving and holding some good times even without the tech suit. My wife didn't tell me until the later stages of the meet that I was creating a slight hole/rip in your Blue70 suit in the butt area. It survived the meet, but I need to return it and compensate you for it's degradation. We're going to Mexico tomorrow, so I'll get with you the first week of June to make arrangements. I hope your weekend went well. again, we missed your presence and I appreciate you letting me borrow Johnathan's suit for the meet as well as modernizing my freestyle and fly. -Andy PS: if I don't get the opportunity to meet you until next season, good luck in San Diego!
