New George School Aquatics Club Info Session

George School is pleased to announce the creation of George School Aquatics, a competitive swim club (USA Swimming registration pending) for children aged 6-18. The club will be based out of the natatorium located within the new 100,000 square foot Fitness and Athletics Center on the George School campus. The light-filled natatorium features seating for 200 spectators and the Marshall-Platt Pool, a state-of-art 25-yard, eight lane pool with buffered areas and a wide coaching deck. 

The club will “provide swimmers of all ability levels the opportunity to train for success and learn the sport of swimming in a positive, challenging, fun environment,” said Bob Kupperman, George School aquatics director. The club is “devoted to developing student-athletes who achieve excellence both in and out of the pool.” Coaching will focus on proper mechanics and training habits which will enable athletes to improve and accomplish their goals. 

“The new Fitness and Athletics Center provides a beautiful space in which children can come to appreciate swimming,” shared Bob. “We look forward to welcoming local swimmers to George School Aquatics and to creating a strong, vibrant program that fosters competitive swimming in a supportive environment.” 

A graduate of Germantown Academy and an All-American swimmer, Bob went on to swim for the University of Pittsburgh. He spent the last six years coaching for Episcopal Academy and the Episcopal Academy Aquatic Club (EAAC). There he was an assistant varsity swimming and water polo coach and headed up the Episcopal Academy Middle School swimming and water polo teams. He has coached swimmers to the Middle Atlantic All-Star Team as well as helped children achieve countless Junior Olympic qualifying times.
