Fluid is proud to announce a long-term partnership with First Wave Swim Academy in beautiful San Diego, California. These guys are top-notch coaches and athletes! Check out this testimonial!

“I have known Mickey Murad for the last 10 years as an athlete, coach and friend.  Mickey swam for me in high school for my club team,  North Coast Aquatics.  Mickey was one of the most talented swimmers I have ever coached and was one of the elite middle distance freestyler's in the United States in his era.  He went on to a college swimming scholarship to UC Berkeley and continued his swimming under the legendary Nort Thorton.  Mickey was always a student of the sport and I hired him to assist with my club program upon his return from college.  He has a gift for analyzing and teaching stroke mechanics and I am excited to watch him apply his teaching talents to his new venture, First Wave Swim Academy.”

-Jeff Pease, Head Coach and Team Owner: North Coast Aquatics
