Introducing the Crawford County Firefish Swim Academy
I am motivated and excited to finally be back and coach for all of you. During my absence, I have learned invaluable skills and lessons I am excited to pass on to all the athletes who are looking to participate in this program. I will strive to bring the utmost discipline and professionalism I can to this this organization and to each of your swimmers. Below is my promise to all of you.
Your swimmers are entrusted to my care. I will train them to the best of my ability. I will develop them into smartly disciplined, physically fit, exceptionally conditioned athletes. I will demand of them and demonstrate by my own example the highest standards of personal conduct, morality, and professional skill.
We have work to do Firefish. I welcome all of you and cannot wait to get stared!
