Dave Stevens

Executive Director

  Dave is certified by the American Swimming Coaches Association ( ASCA ) as a Level 4 Coach. Level 5 is the highest rating; Coach Stevens has achieved the experience and education requirements for Level 5, and needs only to have an individual place in the top 8 at Nationals to secure that honor.  Coach Stevens has led multiple All-Star and Zone Teams, and has served several terms as an elected official within local and national swimming governance.  Dave is also a certified teacher, having earned his degree magna cum laude.  He has coached numerous nationally-ranked swimmers thru the years, including experience working with three Olympians.  One of those Olympians still serves as a Board Member of, and legal counsel for HEAT Swimming – even though he last swam for Dave in 1988! As a former NCAA Division I swimmer and World Championship-level triathlete, Coach Stevens has competed all over the globe, including in Perth, Australia and at the Hawaiian Ironman.
