Beth Costello Head Coach

Beth Costello, I am a swim instructor, with 30 plus years of experience. I have been coaching for the Decatur Gators for over 20 years. I believe in fostering a love for the water while prioritizing safety and technique. I specialize in coaching, children's lessons, adult learn-to-swim, stroke refinement and adaptive aquatics. My goal is to empower each student to become a confident and skilled swimmer.

My passion for swimming led me to become a certified instructor, coach and I'm dedicated to sharing that passion with others. I have experience working with diverse age groups and skill levels, and I tailor my lessons to meet individual needs. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your technique, I'm here to help you achieve your swimming goals.

Swimming is more than just a sport; it's a life skill. I'm passionate about teaching people of all ages how to swim safely and confidently. I strive to create a fun and engaging learning environment where students can develop a lifelong love for the water.
