Coach Leah
Coach Leah was raised in California where you're born knowing how to swim. Coming from a long line of competitive swimmers, it was only a matter of time before she joined the ranks. From 6-18 years old, Leah competitively swam for the Lemoore AquaJets. Every blue ribbon she has ever won is proudly displayed in a shoebox in her parents attic. While she wanted to be the best at Butterfly, most of those ribbons were for Backstroke.
During the off season, she could be found swimming, and eventually assistant coaching, year round for the Kings County Swim Club.
Upon moving to Illinois in 2016, Leah's first job was teaching children's swim lessons. She took a short 4 year break but now she's ready to get back into the action here at Superior Training! Leah has been a member of the team at Superior Training since February of 2024.
Fun fact: One of Leah’s future goals is to learn how to scuba dive!

Coach Stevie
Coach Stevie is from the south suburbs of Chicago where his first job was as a lifeguard and swim instructor at 16. It was there where he was able to connect with young swimmers for the first time which helped ignite his desire to pursue coaching full time. Ever since then Stevie has been working in and around pools for the last fifteen years as a coach, deck manager, instructor trainer and more. Stevie has spent most of my swim career teaching lessons in Denver, Colorado, helping a young swim school grow from teaching two to three students at a time into one of Denver's most popular swim schools with over thirty instructors! Stevie primarily worked with student's ages 1-4 while still being involved in coaching five years and up with more advanced lessons. While living in Chicago I’ve worked at a handful of facilities around the area as well as primarily teaching private at home lessons to families in and around the city, for both adults and children alike! Stevie joined the Superior Training managment team in February of 2024.
