WEBB CITY -- Professional swimmer Clark Burckle and Olympic medalist Alyssa Anderson made a stop in Webb City Saturday. The athletes taught a four hour class helping young swimmers in the area improve their technique. Some participants even had the chance to race against the Olympians. Burckle says the key to success is to never give up and always keep practicing. 

"Just training hard and being aware of not only technique but the right way to do things."

The clinic was hosted by the Jasper County Killer Whales swim team at Webb City high school.
