Episode 14 – Kevin Sullivan

Today we interview Kevin Sullivan, Head Coach at OAC in Waycross, GA. Over the last 10 years, Kevin took a YMCA swim team in a non-swimming, small-town to create a strong club, school and summer league swimming community.

In this episode, we will talk with Kevin about the steps he took to make this change. In many ways, his ideas might not be new to everyone, but it can be implemented by any team or any size. Also, after being a swimmer and coach for most of his life, and having connections at all levels, he has key insights for coaches, athletes and parents!
