About

I keep things straight - just show up and do the work, no excuses. Doesn’t matter if it’s raining or if it’s 5 in the morning. I push you, but I’m right there with you, whether you’re a four-year-old getting into the pool for the first time or someone chasing a national medal. Discipline and fun go hand in hand here.

Who Gets in the Water With Me

• Kids (age 4+): First thing is always water safety. We make it playful - front flips, underwater games, somersaults. Yeah, sometimes the little ones say I’m a bit scary, but they love it when they nail something new. Every bit of progress gets celebrated.
• Adults: Never too late. Our adult beginner swim classes are full of people trying things for the first time, just like me. You’ll find a solid bunch of folks here, cheering each other on as you master things like flip turns or just getting through a lap without stopping.
• Competitive swimmers: If racing is your thing, I’ll get you on the pathway from basic lessons to proper competitive stroke improvement. We’ve got squads for each level - be ready for early mornings and hard sets.

More Than Just Swimming

For me, it’s not about how fast you go, but who you become in the process. Swim with us, and you’ll find a community, not just a pool. Here, everyone learns grit, how to be a team player, and how to push past their limits. We swim together, win together.
