FALL SWIM CAMPS 2021 UPDATE (7/1/21):  The sport of swimming has changed over the last year due to COVID-19, social distancing, and strict safety guidelines.  Summer Swim Teams have finally returned with the help of Swim Camps and Dual Swim Meets.  I was diligent and determined to get as many swimmers back in the water last fall.  I did succeed in a return to swimming in 2020, however, spaces were limited.   I will say with much joy, camp atmosphere has been a game changer in the sport of swimming, mentally and physically.  First off, all swimmers are equal, everyone is a #1 or #2...this has brought an abundance of confidence to all campers.  Secondly, when swimmers are asked to perfect technique, drills, and refine stroke...they are no longer looking back to see if another swimmer will catch them and take over their spot.  100% focus is on individual technique!  Each swimmer now has a training buddies/camp buddies. New bonds and friendships build stronger each day as we use training buddy for competition and as a teammate when we race other lanes/other buddies.  With all of this, training groups will remain 24 swimmers this Fall for 8 week camps, August 9th thru September 30th and October 4th thru November 24th.  Registration will begin July 9th.  Spaces will be limited so please feel free to email me now your interest level at [email protected]  Stay Safe and please tell your family Coach Brett misses each of them! Be on the lookout for Fall Camp Registration Forms

My mission is to provide the youth of our community the knowledge to succeed in and out of the water and to promote the sport of swimming in our area.  Athletes will be given the opportunity to pursue all their goals in all our programs and are capable of many achievements.  I pride myself on the swim techniques taught in my program, which will translate into a more stroke efficient, faster swimmer.  Beyond mastering skills and achieving physical fitness, my swimmers will gain confidence, sportsmanship, discipline, commitment, and an understanding that success results from hard work and goal setting.  Swimmers will learn that you get what you work for, not what you wish for.  

Stay Swimming! Go Dolphins!

All Heart, No Pain!!!
