Founder/Head Coach
Micah grew up in Amherst, Ohio where he fell in love with the sport of swimming. Because of his love for the water, he began taking swim lessons when he was a toddler and would watch the swim team members come into the pool each day, longing to be a part of that team. He started his competitive swim career at age 9 and swam for over 10 years first with the YMCA and then with USA Swimming. He started coaching 5 years ago as an assistant coach for the CLE swim club and Elyria Catholic High School.
Most recently, he had been developing a middle school team for the Berea-Midpark Middle School which grew into more than 35 swimmers. His goal was to develop these swimmers to be competitive for the high school team. Micah enjoys working with swimmers of all ages. His goals include helping swimmers to acquire good stroke skills, to establish a strong work ethic and good sportsmanship, and to develop into the best swimmers they can be. After coaching other teams to great success, he has decided to start a team in an area that he believes could benefit with a USA competitive team. Micah brings experience, partnered with young, innovative ideas, and strong motivation to start and grow a team to be top level in Northern Ohio!
