Our program supports multiple swimmer pathways, including:

- Specialty clinics and technical skill development
Coaches may have opportunities to:
- Work with swimmers across multiple developmental pathways

- Mentor youth swimmers and developing athletes
- Collaborate with university, community, and athletic partners

We believe coaching is more than running practices. It is teaching, mentoring, encouraging, and helping swimmers build confidence, discipline, skill, and a lifelong connection to the sport.
