AMAZING RESULTS

WHERE WE WORK

We have facilities in Northern & Central New Jersey as well as Eastern Pennsylvania, while supporting swimmers worldwide through online services.

We have used Fluid Mechanics for several years. Fluid Mechanics has been monumental in how my swimmer approaches the sport. They have been a coach, cheerleader, and occasionally swim therapist as my swimmer has aged from elementary school to high school. My swimmer has learned proper techniques, improved her speed and gained so much confidence over the years....take an introductory class and see all the ways they can help your swimmer. It’s 100% worth it!

Our son has been going to FM for 4-5 years. The attention and teaching of technique is detailed, thorough and fun. The growth in technique and confidence in our son's swimming has been great to see. He is now 14 and a top competitor in his age group in NJ

Thank you so much for all your help not only in improving his technique but in helping prepare his mental attitude to enhance his performance

Fluid Mechanics has been the best investment we've made in our son's swimming...Our only regret is why we did not start sooner. Fluid Mechanics Inc. and all their consultants are absolutely amazing.

Highly recommend! We can't say enough about the world-class technique instruction and all-around excellent training that our son received from John and his highly experienced team at Fluid Mechanics. Their science-based program — including proprietary avatar technology featured on the Paris Olympics broadcast — helped our son refine and strengthen every aspect of his strokes, especially his underwaters. Through Fluid Mechanics, our son became a more confident, competition-ready swimmer and has exceeded his goals year after year. Now in his first year of college, he's competing at a high level thanks to John and his team! If your swimmer aspires to swim at a high level and maximize their recruitment potential, Fluid Mechanics should absolutely be part of their training.

I have been apart of the fluid mechanics program for 2 years now and swim for a YMCA and I went from 3 silvers cuts to 3 Short Course National times. I began at 16 and this program has not only changed my stroke but also changed my mental attitude towards swimming. Their consultants truly are the best and they help unlock another side of swimming I didn’t even know existed. Most people struggle with technique and they truly go in depth working with their swimmers one on one with video footage and in depth conversations with the swimmers about their strokes. The swimmer then goes and cements those tips during their practice and if all is done correctly you will never look back from joining this program. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for Fluid Mechanics and how much they have changed my swimming career and my life.

FM is a great resource for technical development! They are results focused and I’m very satisfied with my investment. My daughter’s trainer Olivia pays attention to detail and encourages her in a constructive way. The video technology is much appreciated for instruction and reinforcement after in-person lessons. We are looking forward to goal setting and race mapping for her events this year.

Fluid Mechanics, and specifically, Coach Dan Roth, have been instrumental in my daughter’s development over the past few years. What’s been amazing is how Dan has taken an ownership interest in her development. The session doesn’t end when we leave her session, in fact, it’s the exact opposite. He knows the meets she’s swimming in and he follows, knowing exactly how she performed prior to her showing up for the next session. Dan is a professional, Dan is the best at what he does! If I could give more stars, I would!

Outstanding, Patient Coaching That Delivers Real Results Our son has been working with Fluid Mechanics for a year and a half, and the progress has been remarkable. We started when he was 13, after he hit a plateau and couldn’t drop time for quite a while. At FM, he received systematic, individualized tutoring, and his technique improved significantly across all four strokes. After he entered high school last year, Coach Nick recommended focusing on breaststroke. Under his careful guidance, our son developed a thorough understanding of both upper-body and lower-body mechanics, as well as how to balance tempo with distance per stroke. Breaststroke is very technique-driven and often requires time to adapt to changes, but Coach Nick’s deep knowledge and patience made a huge difference. By the end of his freshman year, our son achieved strong times and rebuilt his confidence. With the new season approaching, he’s excited and optimistic about continuing to improve in his sophomore year under Coach Nick’s coaching. We’re very grateful to Fluid Mechanics and highly recommend them to swimmers looking to break through plateaus and refine their technique.

We are from Thailand and my daughter and I found Fluid mechanics when searching for swim camps during my son’s summer camp in NJ. And we are so glad we found FM! Instructors are excellent and we got a lot of detailed feedback to work on when we returned to Thailand. We hope to go back there in the near future.

Swimming is a highly technical sport with lots of questions for new swim parents, Fluid Mechanics has been a wealth of knowledge and instruction for our daughter. The coaches are swimmers that know how to personally connect and elevate your child’s level and techniques in concise actionable steps. All the coaches are great, we have worked specifically with Olivia. We recommend FM to any family looking to further support their child’s swim aspirations!

I have been a veteran swim mom for almost 20 years. Both my children swam in high school. One went on to swim at collegiate level while the other decided not to. But both of them have benefited tremendously from a systematic training with Fluid Mechanics' consultants to improve efficiency in the water and prevent them from injury. First, Fluid Mechanics uses an evidence based program to correct any inefficient strokes to help a swimmer swim more efficiently in the water with better hydro dynamics. One of my swimmers improved a lot in the 200 fly while the other swimmer competed at Sectionals. In addition to gaining more efficiency in the water, I also strongly believe that the fact that neither of them experienced injuries could be attributed to proper training with the Fluid Mechanics' program.

John has been an amazing swimming coach for my boy. He has a natural way with the kids, an inventive and fun approach, and never loses enthusiasm. My boy looks forward to swimming with John and have gained both a ton huge amount of confidence in the water, and real swimming skills. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

We have had and continue to have a phenomenal experience with Fluid Mechanics. From the minute I called the first time to working with the coaches regularly, it has been an easy process and amazing training. My son enjoys the coaches and the training he receives. We watch videos from the various sessions which help you to see where you need to improve your technique or show you how to do something. It had been a great experience. We highly recommend it to other swimmers.

I highly recommend Fluid Mechanic for anyone who wants to improve their strokes. The coaches are very patient and work closely and diligently with the swimmers. My son's coach, Olivia, has been very patient and paid a lot of attention to my son's swimming and gave him detailed instructions. I highly recommend this place.

Our son has been going to FM for 4-5 years. The attention and teaching of technique is detailed, thorough and fun. The growth in technique and confidence in our sons swimming has been great to see. He is now 14 and a top competitor in his age group in NJ. FM instructors know how to connect to the swimmer so that the technique is specific to that swimmers concerns. Highly recommend to any swimmer who wants to bring their technique to another level and get faster times.

Fluid has been great for my swimmer. She had a rough year with a plateau and was really down. Lisa from fluid is so great about not only fixing her strokes but, also, talking her through things. The video feedback and filming is an invaluable tool as it allows the swimmer to see what the are doing wrong and when they are doing something correctly. We saw time drops in her fly at the end of the season and it was from the technique training she did at fluid for the couple sessions before states. They continue to be available via text and video chats whenever we need, and always check in to see that she’s adjusting her goals as she moves forward. I would recommend fluid to anyone that wants to improve their swimmer’s technique and get them to the next level.

I couldn’t be happier with all that my daughter has gained from her coaching at Fluid Mechanics. Briana is a wonderful coach. Her vast knowledge and ability to teach just the way my daughter needs to learn has been the key to seeing results in the pool. For those people whose kids have plateaued and are just going through the motions of swimming a lot of yards at practice, without much stroke development, this program is the perfect compliment. I love that she gets feedback from multiple consultants. They really do pay attention. The value is tremendous and we look forward to continuing our relationship moving forward.

Fluid Mechanics helped my swimmer break out of a 2 yr plateau. Our consultant, Dan R, brought the joy and excitement back to swimming. In just the first 4 lessons with Dan, my daughter dropped the time she needed and committed to swim at her dream school- swimming NCAA D1 in California. Fluid Mechanics assessed her strengths, encouraged, and cheered her on. Dan gave her the tools and skills to self-correct her stroke. This makes her more efficient and so much faster! I only wish we'd done it sooner!!

Fluid Mechanics has been a game changer for my son. He has been working with Fluid Mechanics coach Lisa Pizzuto for the last couple of years and he has moved from a kid that swims to a kid that sees himself as a swimmer and an athlete. His swim times continue to drop, and his understanding of the different strokes is becoming more and more sophisticated. Lisa is the best example of what a youth coach should be; she is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating and always very positive.

Lisa has done an amazing job with my daughter in breaking down the technical aspects of each stroke into smaller components which are relatable for a visual learner. The videos really resonate and help to augment the ongoing coaching she receives from her club team. We have seen an improvement in her times overall. The videos in the extensive library Fluid Mechanics has alone are beneficial but when combined with the personal 1:1 coaching, my daughter’s swimming has been taken to the next level. Thank you!

Nick at Fluid Mechanics is awesome. He has helped identify many areas of my sons stroke that need changes in order for him to reach his goals of getting faster and becoming a more efficient swimmer. The skill and confidence my son is gaining from his sessions with Nick are priceless. So thrilled we have found a program to address all of the needs a club coach cannot. Wish we found Fluid sooner!

I have been working with Nick Winograd at Fluid Mechanics for the past 4 months and he is a knowledgeable and excellent instructor. He has helped me to dramatically improve my freestyle technique which has enabled me to drop time in my events. Having been through the program himself as a young swimmer, Nick is able to communicate the techniques through various drills while also creating a fun and motivational environment for me to learn.

Brianna at Fluid Mechanics has been the best investment we’ve made in our son’s swimming. Our son is young and she communicates with him effectively, breaking down the stroke technique in a way he fully understands it while still making it fun. He has a new found excitement for the sport and always looks forward to his lessons with Ms. Brianna. Our only regret is why we did not start sooner. Fluid Mechanics Inc and all their consultants are absolutely amazing. Tori in the office is very professional and matches you perfectly with a consultant to suit your swimmer’s needs. Our older son has worked with Allison, Brianna and Nick. He too is extremely happy with his progress and strategizes for his swimming with the knowledge he is acquiring through Fluid Mechanics. These folks are the real deal for serious swimmers. Their professionalism is unmatched!

My children have been working with Fluid Mechanics for several years and it has really transformed them as swimmers. My children in particular love the instruction of Nicolas Winograd. He really knows how to effectively breakdown every stroke and identify the parts they need to focus on to improve their speed and efficiency. I love getting the videos of the lessons with the animations. Really unique and helpful.

My kids swim at one of the big NJ clubs that, unfortunately, does not spend enough time working on technique. Dan Roth, their FM coach, helps them swim more efficiently and reduce their stroke count per lap (something not even addressed at the club). In addition, Dan has gone out of his way to help our athlete manage the mental side of the sport. This program is not a just a nice augmentation to what they get from the club, it is the key to their success in the sport.
