“Swimming makes me crazy, but without it I’d go insane”
A famous quote for swimmers and it becomes the truth when swimming at Coach Brent.
Here is a place for everyone, doesn’t matter if it is for fitness, learn to swim or competitive racing.
Thanks to a great coach, Brent Holmes, and supporting coaches, my oldest child has been swimming
for 9 years at Coach Brent and never looked back.
"Since joining Coach Brent's my daughter has enjoyed every minute of new adventure. She was made to feel welcome in a true family environment. Special thanks to all the coaching staff and in particular, head coach, Brent Holmes, for helping her understand her goals. Brent never sits back and watches, he's always involved and doesn't stop learning more about the science of an athlete/swimmer so he can get the best out of them.
Thank you."
