My name is Ty Halford, I am currently the Head Coach at Clear
Creek High School for both swimming and water polo. Through out my
coaching career I have enjoyed great success on both sides of
aquatics, with my high school swimming and water polo teams
competing at the State level. In 2018 I was named TISCA South

I enjoy teaching athletes the great game of water polo but even
more enjoy teaching kids life skills that will help them be
succesful later.
