Our program

With nearly 20 years of coaching all levels. Coach Avery founded the Elevate Swim Academy in 2022, and since then the program has continued to grow each and every year. While currently living in Switzerland, Coach Avery oversees the program from afar.

Hailing from South Florida, Gannon brings with him nearly two decades of coaching experience, spanning across a broad range of groups and athletes throughout the USA swimming world and beyond. He has served as Head Coach and Aquatics Director at multiple programs, within both USA swimming and FHSAA, and produced record holding swimmers up to the Age Group national level, a few of whom have progressed to become NCAA champions and Olympians. Gannon has also served within the Florida Gold Coast LSC as a coach/representative for the USA Southeast Zones Championship team multiple years as well as the Florida all-stars championship. Alongside his background in swimming, Gannon also operates independently as a strength training coach with a focus on Olympic weightlifting, as well as dryland synergies for developmental age group swimmers. He is very excited to foster the next generation of upcoming swimmers within the Elevate program!
