The Art of Swimming and the Game of Racing: Reflections of a USA Club Swimming Coach shares Duncan’s coaching history, breaks down the philosophy at the core of Quest Swimming, reflects on the coaching practices Duncan found most effective, and provides advice to coaches interested in owning their own club and pool.
This book is designed to provide coaches with a strong foundation to nourish their coaching careers and to share the idea of owning a pool property, a club and coaching with that level of ownership.
Please review my book on Amazon and THANK YOU for your interest and support of all that is being experienced in our Quest to provide aquatic services.

The Latest
Quest Swimming will see new construction of a Clearspan enclosure for the competitive training pool and a new outdoor dry land training center provided by MoveStrong which will be placed on the hill overlooking the pool. A store will be placed into the existing clubhouse early next year. The new teaching pool and the resurfaced parking lot plus lighting are all bringing the "aquatic training campus" to its original vision. Thanks to Chad Onken and John Smithson for leading the effort and to the other staff members who are instrumental to every Quest Success!
