I have been very fortunate to have Dick as my mentor and coach over the last few years. Without Dick’s coaching support and commitment to my swimming endeavours of the Triple Crown I would have never been able to do it. Dick’s commitment to open water swimming has set the standard for others to follow. Jim Barber
Thank you for your swimming tips since I joined NASTI in October. I reduced my swim time from my first triathlon, the Morse Triathlon, last year by over 4 1/2 minutes. I really appreciate your assistance. I have a long way to go to get anywhere near most of the swimmers in NASTI, but I appreciate your help. Eric Hendrich
Dick, I swam in W. Lafayette this pm. I can almost not believe the turn around already! Like turning clock back 10 years and have just begun. Urock!

I’ve seen a lot of questionable people passing themselves off as swim coaches for triathletes, but Dick is the real deal. Lifetime swimmer with lake access. If you’re looking for help, check it out.

The training you provide is outstanding. Lessons are definitely working. My times have drastically improved since I started training with you. I know I still have tons of work to do, but at least I am confident I can complete the Ironman swim in time now. Originally I couldn’t even keep my head in the water and was referred to as Tarzan. Now after only 5-6 lessons, I can practice swim 1-1/2 miles in 55 minutes. That can only improve. I am excited about this New Year. Thank you. Brian Katzfey
