Coaches and Aquatic Leaders
Coach Adric is very excited to be on deck at Life Time Arden! He is in his 15th year of coaching having joined Life Time in January 2024. Prior to joining he was the Head Coach and Aquatics Director at Del Paso and Arden Hills.
Adric is a former Sierra Nevada Swimming LSC record holder but quit the sport at age 11 due to burnout and a loss of motivation in the sport. He returned to swim 2 years later at age 13 with a renewed vigor, determination and love for the sport that still burns to this day. His return to swim helped shape his coaching philosophy today. His coaching goal is to make his swimmers enjoy every aspect of swim that he did not care for. Peer relationships, coach-athlete interactions, FUN and success are just some of the components he strives to excel at. Coach Adric's philosophy follows two main principles: 1) Enjoy the process and 2) be successful.
Adric has lead teams to top National rankings and has coached athletes to be Winter Age Group Champions, Junior Olympics Champions, SWAGR Champions, Senior Champions, High Point Winners and he has coached several athletes to Western Zones, Sectionals, Futures, Junior Nationals and Scholastic All-American qualifications. Adric is currently in his 5th season serving on the Board of Directors for Sierra Nevada Swimming and has been named Head Coach at many LSC Camps, the 2021 SNS All-Star Team and both the 2022 and 2023 Western Age Group Zones Team. He also served as an Assistant Coach on the 2023 USA Swimming Western Zone Select Camp staff.
Adric grew up as a multi-sport athlete and played 2 years of College Soccer, was on the All-Academic team, and graduated as a Business Honors student from Sacramento State with a degree in Financial Planning.
Andrew Savine comes to Life Time Swim with two decades of coaching
experience.
As a young coach in his teens and 20’s, Andrew held many
positions in recreational swimming, high school swimming, USA
Swimming, and stroke clinics in the Bay Area. He was lucky enough
to swim and coach under the renowned coaches of Orinda Aquatics, a
perennial silver and bronze medal club, known as one of the top
clubs in the country under 150 swimmers and recognized nationwide
for its character first approach.
After a brief hiatus from coaching in his late 20’s, Andrew
re-joined the aquatics world in the Greater Sacramento Area,
beginning with a position in Oakmont High School's Aquatics program
at the start of 2015. Later in 2015, Andrew joined Rollingwood
Athletic Club as its head swim coach in charge of its Rec team,
Fall USA team, and stroke clinics. He would later also take on the
role of Aquatics Director of the club. In 2019, Andrew made the
move to full-time USA Swimming, by joining Spare Time Aquatics as
its Head Age Group Coach. In 2021, he was promoted to Head Coach of
STAS. During his time with STAS, Andrew trained multiple Sectionals
finalists, multiple Futures finalists, two Junior National
qualifiers, and a Sectionals champion.
Coach Andrew brings a focus on attention to detail, hard work,
dedication, sportsmanship and team unity to Life Time. His #1 goal
is to help swimmers develop long, beautiful and efficient strokes;
the speed will follow! Andrew is also excited at the opportunity to
work with Coach Adric and Coach Marc on continuing to unify Life
Time NorCal for USA meets, communication, social events, and
more.
