Walker is truly an amazing coach. He cares about everyone’s success and instills confidence in his swimmers. He pushes you to be the best you can be and is understanding. He is accessible and honest with you. Personally, that is the desired coaching style for me and I have seen more success as an athlete with the support of our assistant and head coach!

Walker is a young coach, but he knows swimming very well. He is usually pretty quiet (maybe shy) and not aggressive unless it’s meet day. His feedback and criticism are always constructive and helpful. Walker does tend to have a few favorites on the team. His energy is matched well with head coach Julianne, a dynamic duo.

I’ve been coached by Walker for the past year and he’s the best. He creates a super fun environment for all of us. There is no one else I’d rather have as an assistant coach.
