Jason Wedlick will be returning as Head Coach and is assembling a full staff of coaches to lead the team. Coach Hrisa, Max and Hobie will return this Summer to work with the Lionfish Swim Team.

In addition Coach Tim Chung will be joining the staff this Summer. Tim was a 4 year letter as apart of the University of Texas Swim Team from 1999-2003. Tim has experience as a high level collegiate swimmer, year round coach and an avid masters/open water swimmer. 

Lionfish Swimmer Requirements

Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yds unassisted as of the first day of practice. Swimmers unable to do this can sign up for one of the lodge's levels 3 or 4 classes designed for swimmers working toward full 25 yds of swimming. The Head coach will make the final determination on placement if the swimmer's ability level is a safety concern.
