Success Stories & Results

Johnathan Feiro – Hinsdale Central Boys Swimming (March 2025)

“The IHSA meet was an absolute blast! I’ve never swam at a meet quite like that before. I’m proud of my performance
and couldn’t have done it without you. Looking forward to Senior State this weekend with the same goals.
Excited to work with you again during long course season!”

Calissa Holmes – Pleasant Prairie Patriots, WI (Feb 2025)

“Calissa dropped 1.3 seconds in the 100 Freestyle, achieving a personal best time of 1:04.
The one turn I saw showed great streamline and stroke! Calissa has been improving her breathing and wrist lift exercises.
Consistency is the focus now. Thanks again for your help!” — Cynthia Holmes (Parent)

Brian & Brett Truchon – Iron Horse Aquatics, TX (March 2025)

and the detailed video feedback — it has made a huge difference.” —

Aimee Patterson – University of West Florida (March 2024)

“Aimee had a very good conference meet, achieving personal bests in the 50 and 100 freestyle as well as in relays,
and her team won handily. At D2 Nationals, her 200 relay team took 5th, and the 400 relay took 7th.”

“She dropped into the 22-second range for the first time in her 50 relay split.
Thanks for the help with her posture—it has definitely made a difference!” —

Jordyn McPhee – VAST Verona Area Swim Team, WI (Feb 2024)

“Jordyn talked about the session all the way home. She loved seeing her stroke underwater and immediately understood
what she needed to fix. She has already been applying the corrections in practice. Thank you for the clarity and
the confidence boost!” — Krista McPhee (Parent)

Sebastian Labuda – Hinsdale Swim Club, IL (May 2023)

“Sebastian had an incredible meet — dropping time in every event. His 500 Free, 200 Free, and 100 Free all saw major
improvements, and his underwater work has become a real strength. The video analysis helped him understand how to
maintain his line and control his kick tempo.” — Aleksandra Labuda (Parent)

Brett & Brian Truchon – Palos Area Swim Sharks, IL (July 2022)

“The boys had a great clinic session. They wrote eight words on the mirror afterward and repeated them before every race.
Their confidence and technique both improved immediately. Thank you for the inspiration and the clarity!” —

Danny Lynch – Westmont Swim Club, IL

“On January 2nd, he videoed me doing butterfly. I noticed my legs were spread out rather than together.
Before this, I thought my legs were perfectly together all the time. I started working my legs and ankle together in practice
and went from a 1:18 to a 1:11.” — Danny Lynch (Age Group Swimmer)

Bill Wadley (Former Head Coach, The Ohio State University):
“I want this system for Ohio State.”
“It looks very cool. The view is exactly what coaches need today.”

Rein Haljand (Professor, Tallinn University — Technical Trainer for Sweden, Estonia, Russia):
“The system captured video fast and efficiently at our Crimson Wave Swim Camp.”
(System installed July 2014)

John Leonard (Former Director, ASCA):
“You have the Mercedes of Underwater Video.”

Nick Baker (Former Olympic Coach, Founder of Peak Performance Swim Camps):
“I have been coaching for 42 years and have not seen these important views of swimming.”

David A. Sheets (Head Coach, Duquesne University — 2018 A‑10 Women’s Champions & Coach of the Year):
“The Swim Stroke Doctor video system is by far the most versatile and easy to use system out there.
The ability to get moving video from the front of the stroke, the rear of the stroke and the side of the stroke
makes this system a great tool for any coach that believes video analysis can be a great learning tool.”

Dave Fritz (Head Coach, Grove City College, PA):
“The system captured video fast and efficiently at our Crimson Wave Swim Camp.”
(System installed July 2014)

Nathan Rhoads (Head Swim Coach, Brenau University):
“My swimmer loved seeing herself swim underwater. She didn’t even want to talk — she just jumped back in and tried again.”

“I just did my first four video assessments of some of my national group swimmers last Friday. It was awesome!”

Jim Bocci (Head Coach, Highlands Ranch Aquatics, CO):
“I was able to give immediate fast feedback. It was so easy to use! Thanks again!!”

Mirko Mirkov (Former Head Coach, Hinsdale Hornets Swim Club):
“During our Hornet Swim Club stroke clinic on January 12, 2013, we tested the underwater video analysis for 90 minutes.
We recorded over 100 videos. It provides a new and interesting underwater view of a swimmer’s stroke.
This looks promising for swimming stroke analysis.”

Scott Gorley (Head Coach, Morton High School & LaGrange Field Club, IL):
“Works well in the water. Provides a new and exciting perspective to the analysis of the swimmer and specifically swim stroke.”

Mike Laurich (Head Site Swim Coach, Academy Bullets Swim Club, IL):
“What Dan has done is create a video system that lets you capture an entire pool length of the stroke.
This is great since you can see if the stroke changes during that time.
Most systems only allow a single stroke cycle and aren’t as stable.
Most kids are visual learners and this gives them a chance to see what you are talking about
in order to make stroke corrections.”
