Coaches – Our team has 7 certified coaches.

Matt Yovich

Matt has been in and around competitive swimming for most of his life.  We call him our swim engineer. He will analyze your stroke, apply science and get your swimming more efficiently with less effort. Matt is a former competitive swimmer, a proud swim parent, a board member/officer, a nationally certified official, a fantastic coach and a really lovely human being. 

Matt wants swimming to be a lifetime activity for our athletes and desires for all to learn swimming as a survival skill.  He knows that the competitive swimming community is different than most sports – more collegial, collaborative and familial – and results in life-long friendships.  He gets excited by seeing swimmers attain small successes, at any level of swimming, and the confidence and self-worth that results over time.  Those successes are the result of excellent and efficient technique and hard work. Want to see him really excited? Ask him about GYAC – the Greater Yellowstone Aquatics Center project. If we build it, swimmers will come.
