Terrapin Masters Coaches

Terrapin Masters has a long, rich pipeline of coaches coming primarily from the University of Maryland Swimming & Diving program, and our current staff is no exception. Our coaches are teaching us some of the same cutting edge technique they're learning in their own workouts and challenge us with every workout.
