Bob Walker Born in Elyria, Ohio, Bob Walker became involved in the sport of swimming at an early age. At age four, Bob was enrolled in swim classes, appropriately titled guppy, tadpole, starfish, minnow, flying fish, and shark, at the local YMCA. Following his three-year transformation from feeble prey to ferocious predator, Bob decided to join the YMCA“s swim team, the Turtles. He was well suited to the sport and succeeded quickly, qualifying for YMCA Regionals by the age of nine. Bob's success in the sport did not stop as he grew older and the distances longer. By the age of fourteen, Bob had qualified for YMCA Nationals, placing him among the country's elite.

Qualifying for an athletic scholarship, Bob entered Bowling Green State University in September of 1983. During his four years of athletic eligibility, Bob trained up to thirty-three hours a week, while working three jobs and attending classes. His discipline and determination was well rewarded by an Olympic Trial qualifying time of 55.76 seconds in the one hundred meter butterfly. Satisfied with a highly successful Division 1 experience, Bob ended his competitive career, opting not to attend the 1988 Olympic Trials.

Bob has coached for a number of competitive teams including the Bowling Green Swim Club, the Curl Burke Swim Club, and Sea Devil Swimming. Now after coaching swimming for more than 15 years Bob has start his own swim team All Star Aquatics. Bob has coached every age group including: young swimmers, college level, coaching to senior coaching and summer league.

When asked who has been his best swimmer Walker replied, "All of my swimmers are my best swimmers."
