Coaches & Directors

othing has a greater influence on the quality of children’s sports than the excellence of the coach . . . our coaching staff is USA and Red Cross certified and are certified teachers.

Our coaches feel that the swimmers are the most important part of a swim team. Each swimmer is given the same attention and consideration regardless of ability. All swimmers are instructed with respect and encouragement so their experience will be positive one. Also, Our coaches work to provide an atmosphere where all swimmers will feel good about themselves. 

Our coaches feel strongly that through the swimming experience, young people will learn valuable lessons that will help them throughout their lives.

Coaching Staff

William R Barton

Head Coach

Email

With a coaching career that spans over 4 decades and two powerful countries, and a resume taller than he is, Coach Barton has placed swimmers in the Olympics, Pan American Game & many international competitions.  Having coached at Universities with names like Duke & Cornell, and Florida State, it’s easy to understand why he has so many coaching awards and honors at so many levels.  Even though his personal accomplishments include National, All American & NCAA championships, some of the many things his swimmers are so proud of are his World Records in the 200 & 400 Individual Medley and his 200 Butterfly events.  The other biggie in their minds is that, no matter what he might forget, he ALWAYS remembers every single one of their times & splits, for as long as he has coached them.  Parents also love that he believes studies come first.  CBA is thrilled to have Coach Barton as their Head Coach!
