With over 10 years of experience in the swimming world, Coach Galen is a dedicated and passionate advocate for aquatic sports. As Head Coach of Aqua Culture’s USA Team, he has a proven track record of developing swimmers of all ages and abilities. He started this USA team with the intention to provide current swim school families access to the “next level” of swimming without the commitment required from the elite year-round swim teams. With an emphasis on building a well-rounded athlete, he continues to attract multi-sport athletes in addition to those who want to make swimming their primary sport. Being based out of a swim school makes this a technique-focused club that prioritizes skill and finesse over typical endurance training. Under his guidance, the club has developed swimmers who perform highly at a state and regional level, qualifying for meets like Sectionals and Futures.

As a competitive swimmer from the age of five who continues to participate in Masters Swimming, Coach Galen brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to his coaching. His love for the sport is strong and his commitment to fostering a positive and supportive environment is evident in the enthusiasm of his swimmers. He works full-time teaching nursing at Harford Community College and lives in Harford County with his wife and dog. He enjoys going to the gym, swimming, and spending time with friends and family.
