I spent the better part of 10 years swimming for Dynamo. Everything from one of the best training facilities in the country to training every day with national level swimmers to being coached by legendary coaches all shaped my journey in swimming AND has followed me throughout my life. The foundations I was taught both in and out of the water shaped who I am today and are the core principles I use today in my coaching career.

I firmly believe that any extracurricular activity a child or teenager participates in—whether it’s music, drama, sports, or something else—will have a lasting impact on their life. For me, that activity was swimming with Dynamo. The influence it had on me was immeasurable, from the lifelong friendships my family and I formed to the privilege of training alongside and being coached by some of the best in the world. Dynamo provided a strong foundation that not only shaped me, but continues to pay dividends into who I am today.

Dynamo has been vital in my development as a swimmer and as a person. Determination, self-motivation, and resiliency through failure are lessons that I had instilled in me through the passionate coaching staff that will undoubtedly last for a lifetime. It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am to have swum for Dynamo Swim Club and its impact on my life.

Dynamo had lasting impacts that will stay with me for the rest of my life. It felt like my second home from when I was a kid, until I graduated high school. The coaches watched us grow up and cared about our development not only as swimmers, but as people. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Dynamo and I’m so thankful for my time there, and for all of the coaches, parents, and especially teammates that made it so special.

Dynamo Class of 2012

Not only did I learn life lessons such as hard work, determination, and tenacity, but through Dynamo, I have made life-long friendships. The group of girls from my time swimming are still friends today, and now our children are forming friendships together which is so special to see. Dynamo didn’t just shape my character—it influenced the course of my life. It led me to the college I attended, which in turn set me on the path to my career, where I met my husband and began the life I have now. I truly believe I wouldn’t be where I am without the foundation Dynamo gave me.

My time at Dynamo Swim Club completely changed my life and I could not be more grateful or appreciative of the many people who made such a huge impact. I made lifelong friends and mentors that have helped me in so many ways. The program at Dynamo is unlike any other; The team produces elite level athletes who are not only fast at swimming, but also exude amazing character outside of the pool. Many of the swimmers I swam with at Dynamo were top level athletes, students, and active members in their community. Being around such amazing and hardworking individuals pushed me to strive for greatness daily. Plus, the coaching staff at Dynamo give their all to the team by not only being encouraging and motivating but dedicate themselves to growing the team by personal example. Dynamo Swim Club supplied me with lasting lessons and knowledge that I will always remember and cherish.

It isn’t hyperbole to say that being a swimmer at Dynamo Swim Club changed my life, instilling some of the core tenets that have guided me throughout my college career. Very few things in life teach you the value of hard work, the benefits of doing the small details correctly, and the sense of community and belonging that swimming does. My peers at Dynamo and the coaches that guided us for years and years remain an important part of who I am.

Swimming at Dynamo has taught me perseverance and discipline. To be able to swim at a top swim club in the country with some of the best swimmers who were also like-minded in their goal setting was an awesome opportunity. I’ve carried what I’ve learned from swimming at Dynamo into my day-to-day life while in the Navy!

Emily Ranzau

Dynamo 2001-2014, US Naval Academy ‘18

I joined Dynamo because my older brother was on the team, but I stayed for so many more reasons. The coaching staff was supportive and pushed me to reach new limits, I formed lifelong friendships over the years, and I’ve achieved success I never thought was possible. Dynamo was my home away from home for 10 years, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Cade Auerbach

Dynamo Class of 2017

Dynamo taught me that hard work pays off. It prepared me for college swimming and academics because the coaching staff pushed me to be my best in the pool and in the classroom. Dynamo is the best club in the Atlanta area because of how much they value being a team. They taught me how important teamwork is in achieving your goals.
Isabelle Bray

Dynamo Class of 2016

The coaches are extremely caring and want each of their swimmers to succeed, whether it be inside or outside the pool. They do a great job of using swimming to grow their swimmers’ character. During my time at Dynamo, I improved as a swimmer, but the thing that was most important was that I grew as a person.
Ian Grum

Dynamo Class of 2019

One of the unique characteristics of the Dynamo Swim Club was that as a family we could become actively involved in the club and be there to share those precious moments and memories with our child. We always felt welcome and valued by the coaches & staff and therefore being involved was a natural way of contributing to the building up all the swimmers in their athletic journey. Even though my son no longer trains at Dynamo those positive relationships continue and we remain part of a much larger Dynamo family.
