AboutGeorge Weber Expertise I am a swimming and diving coach and ex-competitor with over 25 years of experience. I consider myself a technique expert and can offer suggestions on swimming and diving mechanics. I can also answer questions on the mental aspect of competing.
Experience I was an NCAA div II national qualifier in 5 events from 100 freestyle and butterfly as well as in the 1650yd. freestyle. I was also a springboard diver at this same level. I have coached all levels of athletes in both sports from beginner to Olympic caliber.
Awards and Honors NCAA div. II All American and National record holder in 100 butterfly.

Question I read that you made some good recommendations for someone regarding
diving in the bay area. We are moving to Santa Rosa, CA and my daughter
would like to start diving (platform diving). Could you recommend some places
in Sonoma County for her?
