Ryan has been coaching for over 20 year at all levels of swimming.  On top of being the Head Coach of SFA, he also runs Catalyst Aquatics, a high performance swim lab complete with under water cameras and extensive technology to provide feedback for swimmers from beginners to national level athletes.  

Ryan is both a swimming and coaching alumni at Simon Fraser University and believes that high performance swimming can only be achieved with heavy attention to stroke correction mixed with a complete program.
