About
The most rewarding thing I do is teach people to be proficient in the water and have fun and be fit in this lifetime sport.
I've been doing that for over 50 years. I'm a USA Swim Coach, college coach, publsisher of Competitive Swimmer Magazine and various books and movies. I've run workshops and camps internationally.

It's a true joy to teach both the biginner and the advaced swimmers I am blessed to work with. I hoipe I get to work with you!
