About Shaquatics
Coach David has served as the head coach and director of Shaquatics since its founding in 1999. His approach centers on teaching the often-overlooked fundamentals of water polo while using the sport to build character, mental toughness, and teamwork. His book, Don’t Get Bored with the Basics, puts these principles into a clear, teachable framework.
After teaching thousands of students the eggbeater kick, Coach David now offers a complete Udemy course to help anyone learn to tread water with strength, stability, and confidence.
Coach Brittany directs and edits all of our water polo videos and illustrates our Child’s Guide series. You can find our books on Amazon.
