Meet Coach Grant
Hi, I’m a family man first and foremost, and my life partner Karen and I are parents to three children who infuse our world with joy and who also continue to teach us about ourselves. Home is where the beach is — I need to be near the water – and for the past 5 years the Cayman Islands have been that home.
I believe that when swimmers truly fall in love with the sport, they swim not just with their bodies, but their hearts — creating magic in the water. My passion is to kindle this fire in the hearts of all swimmers, to make them believe in their infinite potential, and to dare to dream big.
I’ve been a swim coach for twenty-four years, and two of my swimmers swam at the last Olympics in Tokyo.
If you’re here, welcome to the Swim Fast & Water Polo program hosted by Fitness Connection, located in South Sound, Georgetown. We are passionate about providing an unforgettable experience for water sports enthusiasts of all levels.
