Trent Richardson.


Head Coach

Biography:

Coaching Philosophy:

I believe in coaching the whole person.  My goal is to help swimmers on our team become people who are not just successful in what they do, but also leave a mark on the communities and organizations that they are involved in.  I believe in the three C's:  Compassion, Commitment, and Character.  I aim to provide each and every swimmer with the technical practice and training they need both in and out of the water to develop the swimmer into the athlete they need to become in order to achieve their goals.
