Among his laundry list of accomplishments is nothing short of an Olympic gold medal by swimming in the morning qualification heat of the 800 freestyle relay and several national championship titles at the University of Texas in Austin.

This thirst for improvement is contagious to swimmers attending his clinics. Need a bit of inspiration to boost your swimming performance? Look no further than a clinic with Jack!

His singular focus on improving while under the direction of college coach Eddie Reese has helped build up an arsenal of technical knowledge to sharpen the details that set great swimmers above the rest. Becoming a student of the sport is imperative to swimming faster, and Jack’s clinic is a crash-course on gaining speed through doing the details correctly.

As an elite competitor, Jack has spent countless hours perfecting both touch turns and flip turns as well as underwater acceleration. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining momentum off the walls and powering through to the finish.

Jack is also known to be one of the hardest trainers both in the pool and on dry land, emphasizing that hard work pays off over time when you learn how to handle pressure and have confidence in your training. “Really, the only pressure that affects you is the pressure you put on yourself,” he says.
