Coach Russ With Daughter Bailey

​I'm Coach Russ Banak with my oldest daughter Bailey.  Bailey has been working along side of me since 2015.  Bailey heads all the Tier 1 swimming lessons for our younger swimmers just learning to swim. She is a Freshman at Ursinus University studying Neuropsychology.  Bailey prides herself on taking beginner swimmers and working with them to swim team level within a relatively short period of time.  She has accomplished this several times in the past and loves seeing the faces of little swimmers being told they're ready for the swim team.  I coach all competitive swimmers with my amazing assistant coaches.  I started competitive swimming at the age of 6.  By 8, I was consistently breaking records and swimming undefeated season after season.  I continued swimming throughout my college career. Throughout the years I have done everything from providing swim lessons to coaching privately and on swim teams. I am the founder of Tier 1. Read why I started Tier 1 here.  Why I Started Tier 1
