A base of knowledge helps your understanding. Learn the essentials of what you need to know and expand your toolbox to help your athletes grow in and out of the pool. The goal is to know what you know well and know how to navigate the things you don't know.
Knowledge alone doesn't make you a better coach. Experience is the best teacher at the end of the day. Exploring and experimenting with a concept teaches you the ins and outs better than being told the answer. Force in the Water brings you experts that have done the deep dive so you can learn from their experience and gain perspective so you know how adapt when the unexpected happens.
Being able to recite the text books or latest scientific research doesn't guarantee you know how to teach, implement, or use the information in the real world setting of working with athletes. We want to help you bridge the gap between knowing what theory says and how theory works out in the real world. Our goal is to teach you the tools you need to be successful, the perspective to know what tool is best for the situation, and how to implement that tool into your program.

Swimming has been a part of Kevin's life since the age of 8 years old and he has seen every level of the sport. He started swimming with his local summer swim league team and progressed to win the 50-meter Breaststroke at USA National Championships in US Open Record breaking time, earning him a berth at the 2013 World Championships swimming for Team USA. A life-long University of Arizona Wildcat, Kevin remains the 2nd fastest breaststroker in U of Arizona history and has competed in two Olympic Trials (2012 & 2016).
After deciding to retire from competitive swimming following the 2016 Olympic Trials, Kevin entered a new stage of self reflection, "What is my new why?", "What do I do now?". In the end, Kevin found that sharing his passion for the sport and coaching others in their athletic journeys was more rewarding than his own swimming accolades. Ever since, he has dedicated his life to learning about the how's and why's of performance and sharing it with others.
Kevin has experience coaching swimmers of all ages and levels of development; age group swimmers as young as 9 all the way up through D1 college swimmers both in the pool and as part of their resistance training (dryland and weight room). He holds a CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association and interned in the University of Arizona Olympic Sports Weight Room.
