Mike has been involved with competitive swimming his whole life.  He now enjoys teaching and inspiring the next generation of swimmers. His integrated approach involves having fun and learning the components of each stroke, which is key especially with the younger age group levels. Mike has been involved with club swimming since moving to the Lehigh Valley in 2012 and he currently serves as assistant coach on the Southern Lehigh Varsity Swim Team. He spent six successful years coaching for EMAC before moving to Coopersburg with his kids and wife.
