I have been coaching swimming for more than 36 years, at the summer league, high school, adult masters, and club levels. I started CAA (formerly LCA) in 2000 with just five swimmers. I don't want to bore you with all of the great stuff that my swimmers have achieved. That is important to them, and theirs to share. So, let's skip that and let me share with you how I coach. I coach every swimmer on our team. I coach swimmers at every level, with every ability, and with every desire. I don't coach for the awards to put on my shelf, but rather, for every athlete to be the best version of themselves. The process is long, there are no shortcuts, and I believe that #workworks. See you on the pool deck!
