Swimming & Coaching Experience:

Skyler has spent his whole life in and around the water. Starting summer league swimming when he was 5 years old. Skyler started taking swimming seriously his Junior year of High School. He only swam club because his High School did not have a pool or team. After his Senior year he took a gap year at the Spire Institute, spending a year there before being placed at the University of Evansville. Five wonderful years were spent at UE, the fifth year being the first year of coaching.

Why do you love to coach?        

I love seeing the progression through the season. Watching someone work at a skill and slowly see them become more and more proficient! Plus seeing them go fast!
