Meet your Head Coach Avery Adams

Coach Avery made the move to the low country seven years ago after a highly successful coaching tenure spanning 11 years in Kentucky. Drawing on his collegiate experience with the University of Kentucky, where he served as the Head Coach of Kentucky Aquatics, Lakeside Seahawks, and the Puerto Rican National Team Coach, Coach Avery has been associated with several high-level programs. During his seven-year tenure in the low country, he has cultivated over 30 collegiate swimmers, secured numerous State Titles, State Records, National Level Meet Qualifiers, and achieved the distinction of being a Two-Time National Select Camp Coach, among other accolades.

Embarking on a new venture, Coach Avery is introducing a professional coaching program that emphasizes learning new skills in a relaxed environment, accommodating those with additional time commitments, without sacrificing quality coaching.

Coach Avery’s expertise in physiology and long-term athletic development positions this program as the most esteemed swim academy in the Charleston area.
