Brooks Curry is among the most electric sprinters in American swimming history. Rising from a talented junior swimmer in Atlanta to a dominant force in the NCAA, Brooks rewrote the record books at LSU, becoming the program’s first NCAA champion in over three decades by sweeping the 50 and 100 Freestyle titles in 2022.
His success translated seamlessly to the international stage. Brooks qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, where he helped Team USA secure a Gold Medal in the 4x100m Freestyle Relay. Following his collegiate career, he made the bold decision to move across the country to Berkeley, California, to train with one of the world’s premier pro groups. Today, he continues to compete at the highest level while sharing his deep technical knowledge with swimmers of all ages.
FROM THE CLINICIAN
I really enjoy seeing swimmers find success and enjoyment in the sport. My favorite part of teaching is witnessing that “connection” —seeing the lightbulb go on when they finally figure it out. My strength is explaining concepts clearly and demonstrating them effectively so that swimmers can replicate the skill immediately.
Technical Mastery I believe in technical analysis through video work and studying those who have come before us. I break down the underwater phases and stroke mechanics to help swimmers understand exactly where their speed comes from. Good habits, practiced consistently, are what create success.
A Journey of Gratitude Qualifying for the Olympic Games was the first major stepping stone in my journey to becoming one of the fastest swimmers in the world. It gave me the inspiration and gratitude to keep pushing. Now, living out my dream as a professional athlete training outdoors in Berkeley with the best squad, I advise every swimmer: never quit, and have as much fun as possible.
