Aras Sahebi

Assistant Coach

I've been swimming since I was 12 for COPS and swam for the Plano East Senior High School Swim Team. After swimming competitively I worked on improving my teaching skills teaching swim lessons for 4 years at Lifetime Plano. My work with teaching took me to working with Prestonwood Christian Academy in the Fall of 20201 where I got to work as the assistant swim coach working primarily with the middle school team and a bit with the high school team. I began working with A+ Swimming in the Spring of 2022 with Tina, where I have taken my coaching skills to the next level working under a dedicated and skilled coach with years of experience. I strive to balance my day job as a network engineer and swim coach and hope to assist in making young swimmers the best version of themselves both in the pool and outside of practice in their everyday lives.
