Clinic Testimonials

Just wanted to say I was so pleased that I attended your freestyle clinic - best money I've spent and really given me lots to work on. You made it very clear and simple compared to some of the other clinics I’ve attended. Much appreciated your time and effort Duane.
Matthew Watts

The swim clinic was of great benefit to me in trying to cut my swim time down. Duane made things very clear and easy to understand. You gave me all the tools to swim a PB. The following week I did my PB for 400m FR/S . Thanks again!!
Angus Walker

A wonderful stroke technician and teacher. A well run clinic.
Beth Clarke- Redcliffe

Firstly, thanks for an enlightening and productive workshop. I found it to be the most beneficial lesson that I have had. I was amazed at how quickly I improved. My 1500m time improved by over 2 mins. The first time I’ve ever broken 28 mins. Thanks heaps!!!
Michelle White – Brisbane

Doing the Swim Clinic with Duane has been great for me to look at my swim stroke with different eyes. I have been able to fine tune the way I have been doing different areas and with the dry land exercises learn the muscles to work on strengthening. I notice as I am swimming my laps I am breaking up my stroke on small but important areasI would highly recommend the clinic to improve your swimming
