Coach Andrew didn't really learn how to swim until the age of 12 where he went through swim lessons at a nearby pool. He did not start competitively swimming until the inaugural swim season at his high school. From then on, his passion for the sport grew. At the same facility where he was taught swim lessons, he began teaching for 6 more years. Eventually, Andy went away to the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh where he decided to swim and graduated in Dec. 2009 with a B.S. in Human Services Leadership.
During his junior year at UWO, he was nonchalantly asked if
he would like to coach swimming since he taught swim lessons and swam himself. "Sure,"
he said and that was how the relationship with the Fox Cities YMCA Swim Team began
and he worked with them for 3 seasons at all levels. Andy worked at the Nike
Technique Camps where he was a coach/videographer/counselor and worked at their
Training Camp. His main goal is to bring the best out of each of the swimmers
in and out of the pool.
Coach Andrew will be working with the Age Group swimmers and you can reach him at 262.215.6885. Please say hello to him when you see him on deck!
