TESTIMONIALS:
Back in Switzerland, I would not miss [the chance] to thank you for the opportunity you provided for me to join a training session with Mark and the team in Monterey. Was great to get the chance and to be received so openly and warmly. The training with Mark was a great start back into training; and sprinting with a bucket is now definitely something I can erase from my bucket list ;-) Thanks to coach Mark for the good time and the great hints about how to swim. (we followed them all and had a great time!!!)

Thank you for letting me come by and join your group this week. I had so much fun. Mark is a great coach. You truly have a gem of a program. You have great facilities and people. I hope to come by again next time I'm in town. — Anonymous
Thank you for letting us crash your practice last weekend - Geoff had a FANTASTIC time, I don't quite understand this love of being in the hurt locker - but he enjoyed it and has been talking about the practice ever since. He said "We need to move here so I can do more of those practices with a coach like Mark." So basically if you could please move to Boulder, that would make things much more convenient for me :) In all seriousness, if you know of any other REAL swim coaches in our area (even Denver?) who are legitimate, we'd love any info or referrals. Geoff generally trains with mostly triathletes - which is apparently completely different than the training you put him through - and he's CRAVING "real" swim practices. He's upped his yardage since we got back and is loving all the hours in the pool. Sean (my brother) also really enjoyed himself - and I loved watching them both suffer (and smile) Thank you again!
