Since coming to Swim Seattle, Charlie has actively coached every group program our swim club has to offer. As head coach, Charlie now focuses his attention on the Pre-competitive and Senior Training Groups.
Training revolves around a heavy technique focus that builds on a strong aerobic backbone.
He believes that swimmers should have fun and enjoy their hard work. Before coming to Swim Seattle in 2000, Charlie served as the Head Age Group Coach for Puyallup Aquatic Club, a USA club. He has coached athletes that, while swimming with Charlie, were ranked number 1 in the country for their age group. He has also been a part of three summer league teams, two of which won Regional or City titles. Charlie was a senior national qualifier in the 200 and 500 yard freestyle events and held a varsity record at the University of Washington.
