Growing up in Queens, NY, Coach Pete was involved in countless sports and swam competitively from age 11 to 18.  His High School team (The Stuyvesant Pirates) were 3-time New York City Champions and he was elected captain both his Junior and Senior years.  During his Senior season, Pete was a member of two NYC all time record breaking relays.  He graduated with a B.S. in Commerce from the University of Virginia, but after working in Manhattan for a year, Pete knew his real passion was coaching and teaching.  He went to Queens College to study Physical Education and later taught pre-k through 8^th grade.  Along his journey to LVSC, Pete has coached an age group swim team in NY, a HS volleyball team, and interned for the National Team Division of USA Swimming at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. 

Since Coach Pete took over as Head Coach, LVSC has doubled in size to more than 200 swimmers. The team went from sending a handful of swimmers to NV State Championships to more than 75% of the team qualifying. Whether the swimmer qualified for their first meet, won State Championships in individual events, or won High Point in their age group, Coach Pete is proud to recognize their growth and accomplishments. Each year brings new opportunities for him to take swimmers to gain experience against competitors at Southern California Swimming meets like June Age Group or Junior Olympics and at USA Swimming meets like Wester Zones and Sectionals.

Currently, Coach Pete is also working as a Personal Trainer (ACSM certified) here in Las Vegas. He is also dedicated to ninja training and competition and has qualified for World Finals of the Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association two years in a row. LVSC is (not so patiently) waiting for him to get his call from American Ninja Warrior any day now!

Defining Moment with Teammates: “One of the most memorable moments I had in my swim career was the 100 free “Get Out Swim” in practice. If I reached the goal time set by Coach Amber, the group could get out of practice early that day. With my team cheering support, I succeeded in the swim and the excitement was unforgettable. That moment was a defining moment in my life.”
