"Best Clinic We've Ever Attended!"
We’ve been to several swim clinics over the years, but the Legacy Swimming event with Coach Steve Lochte and Ryan Lochte in Omaha was absolutely next level. My 10-year-old came out of this clinic more excited about swimming than I’ve ever seen him. Coach Steve’s technique breakdowns were incredibly easy for the kids to understand, and Ryan jumping in to demonstrate just made it that much more impactful. You could see how in sync they were as a father-son duo—definitely the best we've ever seen. My son is already asking when the next one is! By Jennifer M, parent 10 yr old
"Coach Steve Is a Technical Genius!"
Coach Steve Lochte was absolutely phenomenal at the Omaha clinic. In just a few hours, he transformed the way my daughter understands her freestyle and backstroke. His eye for detail is incredible—he caught little things in her technique that no one else has noticed before. He explained everything in a way the kids could actually understand and apply right away. You could tell he genuinely cares about making each swimmer better. We left inspired, motivated, and already seeing improvements. By Melissa T., Swim Mom
Coach Steve Has a Gift!
Watching Coach Steve work with the swimmers—especially the 13 & up group—was something special. His energy, knowledge, and ability to connect with every kid in the pool was unmatched. He has a gift for simplifying complex stroke mechanics and making it click. My son walked away with a completely new understanding of his turns and butterfly technique. Coach Steve delivered what most swimmers don’t get in a season. We’d train with him every week if we could~ virtuals & video analysis are up! By Brain W. coach & parent
"Transformed My Teen's Technique in One Afternoon
My 14-year-old daughter has been swimming competitively for 5 years, and even she was blown away by the insights from Coach Steve and Ryan. They broke down strokes, turns, and starts in a way that clicked instantly. The clinic was split perfectly for younger and older age groups, and both got individual attention and pro-level tips. Coach Steve has a real gift for reaching swimmers at every level. Watching Ryan share his Olympic mindset with the kids was the cherry on top. Worth every minute and every mile we traveled!

Great for All Skill Levels!
This Legacy Swimming clinic in Waynesville, NC was fantastic! The drills were spot on, and I saw improvement in my daily practices. There were swimmers of all levels, and everyone got individual attention from Ryan and Coach Steve, Highly recommend it to anyone looking to brush up on technique or just get more confident in the water!

Solid Training with Great Legends
Really solid clinic. Coach Steve knew his stuff and gave very specific, helpful feedback. The question and answer was so fun.
I wish the session was a bit longer—overall, a very worthwhile experience. No other clinic I have been to compares.

Helped My Son Tremendously!
I enrolled my 12-year-old in this Waynesville clinic, and the knowledge he came home with was amazing. He was struggling with his freestyle technique and often felt discouraged at swim team practice. After this clinic, he’s swimming with so much more confidence. Coach Steve was so knowledgeable and was patient, and knew how to work with younger swimmers. Thank you for helping reignite his love for the sport! By Amanda K.
Unforgettable Clinic in a small town with Exceptional Coaches
Both of our kids (ages 13 and 15) attended this clinic, and we were truly impressed. They came home talking about how “Coach Steve knows everything “and how Ryan “showed us a trick with our start”. They’ve been to other clinics before, but none had this kind of energy or personal attention. So appreciative for coming to our small town and making BIG things happen.

We Learned as Much as Our Son Did
Our 8-year-old is new to our swim team, and we weren’t sure what to expect. The Legacy Swimming clinic in Waynesville was incredibly welcoming—not just for the swimmers, but for the parents, too. We appreciated how approachable Ryan and Coach Steve were. Our son said, “I felt like we had known them forever,” which is all we could ask for at this stage. Come back soon!!

Worth Every Mile for This Experience
We drove over two hours to get to Waynesville, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Both kids came home so excited. My oldest told me, “Coach Steve gave me a couple of tips for my freestyle “ and my youngest said, “Ryan was so fun—he said my kick is strong!” This was more than just a clinic; it was an experience that will stick with them forever.

Perfect Tune-Up Before My Triathlon
"Coach" was exactly what I needed ahead of my upcoming triathlon. As a decent runner and cyclist, swimming was always my weakest discipline. Coach Steve was amazing and gave me technique corrections and worked with me on endurance and breathing. We are working with video analysis and custom workouts just for ME! I can't believe what this has done for my swimming~ By Mark L.
Triathlete Wonders
"Coach Steve’s one-on-one coaching completely transformed my swim leg. As a triathlete, swimming was always my weakest link, but with his targeted drills, technique corrections, and personalized feedback, I’ve not only improved my efficiency but also gained confidence in the water. His ability to break down my stroke and rebuild it was a total game changer. Can’t recommend him enough!" Rachel T., Age-Group Triathlete
