Coach Ignacio Sanchez, Aquatics Director

Community Spotlight

“Coach O and his staff did more than just teach our son how to swim. The aquatics staff embodies all the characteristics of an excellent swim department. My son is now co-captain for the Eagles swim team at Rabun Gap School. Coach O and the Abbe Aquatics staff are always ready and available to talk with him.”

Dr. Faustina E. Haynes & Mr. Emmanuel Louis, BCNY Abbe member parents

“Ameer struggled with school and lost his confidence. Swimming at BCNY helped him rebuild his confidence and his grades started to improve. What surprised me most is that the 1.5 hour commute never deterred him; his passion for swimming at BCNY made it worthwhile.”

Sharon Davidson, BCNY parent to Alumnus Ameer Walker
