Leadership
At Paseo Aquatics, swimmers train under some of Southern California’s most accomplished coaches. Our staff includes former Division I athletes, Olympic Trials contenders, and swim technology innovators (Coach Konrad- Morphwear). This depth of experience means every swimmer learns directly from those who understand what it takes to achieve excellence. From the first lap to college and beyond, Paseo equips athletes to go the distance.
