Feedback from participants:

"The benefit from XSWIM for Surfers was amazing. My wave count was easily double that of my traveling companion. Even a guy who I did not know commented how strong my paddling was. I recommended XSWIM for Surfers to whomever would listen. It was an epic trip because the waves were good the entire time and because I was able to make the most of each session. Thanks again!" Thomas Jefferson, Fort Pierce, FL, USA - VP at Treasure Coast Food Bank (www.stophunger.org) and avid Surfer

"Love this program! Challenging and fun programs for all fitness levels! Heart rate really gets going from getting in and out of the water. For me being in good swim shape, I felt like I got a more efficient workout in than swimming alone!  I will definitely share this with all my triathlon friends."Joe Kaiser, Los Angeles, CA, USA - Ironman Triathlete, Olympic Club water polo player

“Loved Rob!!!! He really knows his stuff"
“BEST training I've had in a long time.” “Rob's energy & broad (practical) experience was amazing - his enthusiasm for the topic was obvious. He also takes pride in making sure that the participants learn and can use the techniques in the future."

Rob Case is the creator of XSWIM and the Surfing Paddling Academy (SurfingPaddling.com), an avid surfer, swimmer, water polo player, and father of two very energetic boys.

From the age of three he competed in swimming and has continued to find his passion in or on top of the water."With two small kids and a full time job it was hard to find time to stay in shape for all the different sports I love. Swimming laps got boring, going to the gym was time consuming."

While living in San Diego, CA he created XSWIM as a method to stay in shape for his favorite pastimes. He combined his years of studying fitness, swimming, and surfing paddling to create the XSWIM training program. After receiving requests from clients to coach them on paddling technique, he created the Surfing Paddling Academy based on the scientific studies of swimming and it's link to surfing paddling.

Now headquartered about 20 miles North of San Francisco, in addition to the Surfing Paddling Academy Online Course and XSWIM, Rob conducts 1-on-1 Stroke Analysis sessions in a custom made swim flume. The real-time feedback loop allows clients to make exponential improvements in a very short period of time.

Rob is one of the top instructors in the world for surfing paddling technique and the results speak for itself.

With Thanks: Special thanks to all XSWIM community members. Without your support and feedback, XSWIM and the Surfing Paddling Academy would just be shared with a few people instead of the thousands of lives it has impacted. I am extremely grateful to the YMCA and Boys and Girls Club organizations for allowing me the facilities to run classes and test the XSWIM programs. Many thanks to my brother and to my friends who encouraged and help me get started. Thanks to my late mother who instilled strong values for fitness, travel, and for living your passion. You are here in spirit, always. Most thanks to my lovely wife and my boys. You are my number one passion and I hope to set a good example for you.
