ABOUT THE BOOMER COACHES

The Boomer's coaching staff are volunteers committed to success. Like United States (USA) Swimming , we strive to keep individuals in swimming and improve the individual and the sport. Our coaches regularly attend coach's clinics held locally at Jekyll Island, and have attended those held regionally at Nashville TN, and nationally at the Olympic Training Center, Colorado Springs, CO.
