Paul Fritz
Coach Paul (aka The Barracuda!) is the co-founder of Swim Las Vegas and has retired from Swim Las Vegas after 6 years of dedicated and self-less service to the triathlon and swim community of southern Nevada.
As an accomplished kayaker who has competed in over 125 triathlon events and is an ASCA Level 3 coach Paul was an innovative and supportive swim coach who is not afraid to tell you how it is. He’s been swimming and coaching for... a very long time. He has successfully coached age groupers in southern California, Boston Marathon qualifiers, Ironman athletes, beginners looking for their first fix & everyone in between.
Coach Paul is the "math" behind some of the most notable courses in Las Vegas, from the famed Silverman Triathlon (yes, you can thank him for all of those hills) to the Las Vegas Marathon, to Pumpkinman, Rage Tri, Running with the Devil, Running with an Angel (and many more) including some of your favorite 5k's. There are too many to list. He offers course measurement certifications via RACE MEASURE and is also a race director of Slam The Dam Open Water Swim and LV10K Open Water Swim.
We hope to see Paul back on deck or in the water doing what he loves to do! Thank you Mr. Fritz!
