Member Testimonial:
"Coach Clint is a fabulous coach. Besides the obvious of helping me knock 40 minutes off my AG winning Ironman time and leading me through my first two years of pro competition, Clint’s love for coaching shines through all of his efforts. His tri training programs are specifically created for the individual athlete and expertly designed by years of training, racing, observing and coaching experience. Clint’s swimming expertise has helped hundreds (if not thousands) of people improve their technique and swim times. A huge fan and supporter of his athletes and their races, he does all he can to be there on race day, proudly cheering and perhaps stressing over the unknown—like when we’re out riding for 5 hours and he doesn’t know how we’re doing! He is knowledgeable, generous, caring and he has certainly made me faster. I feel privileged to call him “Coach” and excited for what working with him next season will bring."
