Coleman Stewart is a world-class swimmer and passionate coach who brings elite-level experience and energy to every clinic. A standout athlete at North Carolina State University under renowned coach Braden Holloway, Coleman developed a lifelong passion for teaching the sport that shaped his own journey.
His competitive resume is nothing short of extraordinary: World Record Holder, 2x NCAA Champion, 22x NCAA All-American, 13x ACC Champion, 2x ACC Swimmer of the Year, former U.S. National Team member, and 2021 ISL Team Champion. Coleman’s experience at the highest levels of the sport translates directly into his dynamic and effective coaching style.
Coleman is known for his infectious energy, clarity in instruction, and ability to make swimming both accessible and exciting. He excels at breaking down complex techniques into simple, actionable steps that swimmers of all levels can understand and apply. At the heart of his approach is the belief that swimming should be fun and rewarding.
Beyond his accolades, Coleman values the relationships and personal growth swimming has given him. Whether in the water or on the deck, he is dedicated to helping young athletes discover what swimming can offer — skills, friendships, confidence, and inspiration that last a lifetime.
I believe swimming should be fun, rewarding, and something athletes truly enjoy doing every day. My goal is to create a positive environment where swimmers feel confident, challenged, and excited to improve every time they get in the water.
I love helping swimmers understand the small technical details that create speed and efficiency. My approach is all about breaking complex movements into simple, actionable steps that swimmers can immediately apply in practice and racing.
One of the biggest lessons swimming has taught me is to attack every opportunity like it’s the only one you’ll have. That mindset helped shape my career, and I encourage every swimmer to embrace challenges, work hard, and enjoy the journey along the way.
Coleman Stewart was awesome. He was in the water demonstrating, out of the water coaching, and working with individuals. He was very clear on the purpose and importance of each drill and technique.
