Everyone who goes to one of our clinics is filmed and takes home a dvd of them swimming. At the end of the clinic the Coach reviews the video with each swimmer pointing out ways to improve. That way after the clinic the swimmer can go home and watch the video and notice what they need to change so the next time they go swimming they have the tools to become better swimmers. Check out Rocky's freestyle.

Gay Sports Website
Fellow WH2O'ers is asking you for your opinion, check out this following message:
Hi All,
I'm helping re-develop a new web property called www.GaySports.com.
We're in the process of analyzing what gay athletes, both men and
women,
are looking for in a site in order to provide our audience (all of us!)
with the best content, whether it be news, message boards, photos, or
social networking. We will be re-designing the site, but right now I'm
just trying to figure out what we all want to read.
If you could take a look at the site when you have some free time and
give some feedback as to what you would be looking for, I'd appreciate
the help. You can email any thoughts to
mumbach@regententertainment.com.
Thanks,
Mark U.
