Coach Duncan began his coaching career in 1968 - in Newport News. VA for the Glendale Gators. He used his education and his experiences to craft a coaching career over 51 years, retiring from coaching in January 2019. He credits swimmers, colleagues and volunteers for his coaching successes - and his family for allowing him the unusual working hours & days, the weekends & weeks away from home and the level of focus he gave to his work.

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.
