and implementing their current USS swimming
program. He also spent time as head coach of the
Pendleton Swim Association in Pendleton, Oregon where he grew up
and swam as a kid. In his few years, Rob has been
privlieged to work with and develop athletes of all abilities,
from beginners to top ten nationally ranked
swimmers(for their age-group). He has a true passion for the
sport and lives to pass on the life-skills he has learned from
his own swimming experience to as many athletes as he
can.
As a swimmer, Rob swam competitively beginning at
age six and continuing through college, attending and

Recently, Rob went back to school to study Kinesiology and

continued career in coaching. He is happy to call
SSFAC home and looks forward to many more successful seasons
with a truly growing program.
