Our Castle Rock Staff
I believe this is the best staff you'll find anywhere - Russ
JASON BLANCHARD
PATRICK MOODY
BETH MOREAU
JESSIE XANTERIS
Jason grew up in Lake Hanasu, Arizona. He swam through his high school years. He attended the University of Arizona where he graduated with a degree in Wildlife Management. Until he was a victim of budget cuts he was a fireman in L.A. County. He came to Colorado to work with the Douglas County Sheriff Office. Jason taught swimming thru high school and college. Those of you that have seen him in the water have seen how much he loves working with the kids.
Patrick grew up in Los Angeles, CA and has been involved in swimming his entire life. He swam competetively though high school, coached for a few years after high school and has been teaching for 8 years. Russ has found Patrick to be one of the best instructor that has worked for him. Those of you that have had a chance to have Patrick teach your kids have seen how great he is with the kids and with teaching skills.
If you are coming from the rec center lessons program you may know Beth. She has been one of the best swimming instructors in the area for many years. Russ & Beth got to know each other when her now 20 year old daughter swam for Russ at ROCK Swimming when she was 7. Beth's other big involvement in the local swiming world is that during the summer she's in charge of the Cruisers Swim Team. We're very excited to have her join our team.
Jessie is a local girl that has been involved in teaching Castle Rock's kids to swim for well over a decade. She has worked for Russ a number of times, always to rav reviews from kids & parents. Jessie coaches the little ones for the Castle Rock Cruisers (our local summer club swim team). She absolutely loves kids. If you get a chance to watch her interact with her classes you'll see that right away. It's great to have her back with us.
