LEARN FROM LEGENDS
Our Coaches
Ben Lee
This will be Ben’s first year with us and we are very excited to have him join our staff. His wealth of experience and energy was something that I felt from the first time I spoke with him.
Ben is the team manager of the LA Current in the International Swimming League (ISL). He is an experienced high-performance coach and clinician with a proven track record in developing swimming and strength conditioning programs for swimmers resulting in acceptance into top US collegiate programs and podium finishes during the Asian Games, ISL competitions and the Olympics. He has coached Chinese Swimming Association Olympic gold medalists Zhang Yufei, Wang Shun and Liu Xiang, Mexican National Teamer and World Juniors Qualifier, Athena Meneses Kovacs, and has worked with several US Olympic swimmers. His technical progressions and approachable demeanor helps athletes find fun in high-quality work and get excited about training and fast racing!
We will also offer video analysis for and extra $50 which Ben will be taking the lead on.
Sarah Holman
After helping Coach Brownley start this camp over 20 years ago, Sarah has been back to help a number of times. Sarah coached with Dean for 7 years at Centre before moving on to Swim MAC in Charlotte. While with Swim MAC she coached a number of Junior National qualifiers and was on coach for team USA in the 2018 Pan Pacific games. Soon after the Pan Pacific games she changed directions and has been coaching at Davidson College for the past 4 years. While at Davidson they have set 11 School records, had the swimmer of he year three times and the newcomer of the year once.
Her ability to reach the top-level swimmer and ability to instruct the someone that is relatively new to the sport is a true gift. We are so excited to have her back this summer.
