Boys Swim & Dive
Program Philosophy
The Seattle Prep boys swim program seeks to forge exceptional young men in and out of the pool. While success in the water is our primary goal, our student athletes gain leadership skills, an appreciation for hard work, and an experience of camaraderie that will serve them well in all their endeavors.
This is a growing program, with a young, solid base of student-athletes and the ability to return Seattle Prep to being a perennial challenger for a Metro league title!
PROGRAM HEAD
Andy Bernard stepped into the program head role in 2018 after 4 years as an assistant with the program. As a Seattle native and graduate of Metro league rival O'Dea high school, he has a great appreciation for the storied history of athletics at Seattle Prep.
During his tenure as Program Head, Coach Bernard has seen his athletes compete at the top level both in the pool and in the classroom. The 2021-2022 team was names 3A Academic State Champion for their excellence in that area.
When he's not coaching at Prep, he heads Seattle Parks and Recreation's lifeguarded beach program.
