Karlyn and Eric travel WORDLWIDE hosting over 60 clinics and camps every year. Why not host a clinic at YOUR POOL??? "I took the Aquatic Edge clinic in San Diego in 2007. This clinic made a HUGE difference in my swimming efficiency. I felt faster immediately!" - Kate Major 3rd at the World Ironman Championships KONA, Hawaii in 2004, 2005, 2007, IM USA Champion 2005, IM Arizona Champion 2005 "I just wanted to say thanks for a truly extraordinary clinic. I learned more in today's four hours than I have in the last four years--and that's saying a lot since I already had your DVD! Again, many thanks. I cannot wait to share all I learned with my team!" - Shannon Singer, Masters Swim Coach, Mt Vernon, WA 2007 Hi Karlyn and Eric, Thanks for your clinic. It has been a breakthrough for me. I'm now between 10 and 20 seconds per 100m quicker in the pool than before! It’s given me back the time I need in an Ironman distance swim to be competitive in my age group. This past weekend I swam with Susie my wife in the ocean and for the first time ever we were able to swim together (i.e. without me getting dropped :) Thanks again. - Robin, Melbourne AUS 2006 Karlyn and Eric -- I just wanted to let you know how much your seminar has helped my swimming. My times continue to drop and swimming is much more fun! One month after taking your clinic I dropped 15 seconds in my 200 free! Amazing!
