Coach Chris

EMAIL: CHRIS@TEAMSANTAMONICA.ORG

Coach Chris comes from a long line of swim coaches and is passionate about the sport. He got his start in the water at just 2 years old and began competing at age 5. With over 13 years of coaching experience, Coach Chris has been guiding competitive swimmers in Southern California since 2009.

He's helped develop a diverse range of swimmers, from Gold Medalists at Super JO's to top-ranked athletes in Southern California. He's also had the opportunity to work alongside Coach Mohammad at the Western Zones Age Group Championship and was selected to coach at the All-Stars Festival for three consecutive years.

Coach Chris believes that technique and mental toughness can be developed in young athletes, laying the groundwork for success. His approach is to understand each athlete's strengths, weaknesses, and concerns, allowing him to create a personalized plan and help them achieve their goals.

In his free time, Coach Chris is an avid sneaker collector. Maybe we can discuss our favorite shoes together!
