BIO
Travis Gulledge is an elite US National Team member, All-American, and breaststroke standout competing for the Indiana University Hoosiers. From Frisco, Texas, Travis has dedicated his life to the water, consistently dropping time every single season of his career. He began his collegiate journey at Texas A&M, where he made an immediate impact, earning SEC All-Freshman honors and punching his first ticket to the NCAA Championships. Transferring to Indiana University, he continued his rise with head coach Ray Looze, securing All-Big Ten First Team honors and solidifying his status as a premier Division I talent.

Having trained alongside everyone from everyday club swimmers to Olympic Gold Medalists, and under some of the brightest coaching minds in the world, he possesses a deeply well-rounded perspective. Driven by a profound love for the sport—sparked by his childhood coaches—and fueled by his academic pursuit of a degree in Exercise Science, Travis brings a highly structured, scientifically backed, and adaptable approach to the pool deck.
FROM THE CLINICIAN
The Power of Adaptability: Being adaptable often gets underrated in swimming. I have been swimming my whole life and have continued to drop time every season. I contribute my success to being wiling to constantly learn. My ability to adapt in different environments and training styles has been vital to my success.
Be Deliberate: To advance in this sport, you must remain inherently coachable. But more importantly, you have to actively apply what you learn to every single lap. I firmly believe there is no room for mindless work in the pool. Everything we do must have a purpose, and I work hard to make sure my swimmers understand the “why” behind every drill.
My Coaching Approach: Growing up, my coaches instilled a love for the water in me. Earning a spot on the National Team and competing at the Olympic Trials solidified my competitive drive, but it was mentors like Coley Stickels who gave me the confidence to step up and teach others. As a clinician, my greatest strength is my ability to connect with athletes. I dont just instruct I listen to their unique questions and I offer solutions that can translates into immediate technical improvements.
