RC Swim and Dive Lesson Instructors

At RC, we have exemplary instructors on staff to help meet the individual needs of our young swimmers and divers. Lessons can be arranged as private lessons (one student) or semi-private lessons (2-4 students). 

To arrange a private or semi-private swim/dive lesson, please contact your instructor of choice directly, and they’ll work with you to schedule your lessons. 
If you have any difficulties with getting a lesson arranged and need assistance, please contact Mada Montgomery, our swim lesson coordinator, or Aquatics Director Brad Huttenga.

If you’d prefer RC assigns an instructor, please fill out this form and we’ll get back to you shortly:  Lesson Request Form
*If you need to cancel an already scheduled lesson, please contact your instructor ahead of time.  No shows for scheduled lessons will be charged at full price.

Will Brenner

Hi, my name is Will Brenner. I was a diver for 17 years, and am currently the head dive coach at Oakland University. I started at Orchard Hills, then started to take diving more seriously when I started diving with Brad Huttenga at Huron High School and Racquet Club. From there, I was able to get a spot on The University of Iowa Swim and Dive team, where I competed for 4 years. Since then, I have been coaching kids of all different skill levels and age groups. I’m really excited to be back at Racquet Club and share what I have learned about this sport over the years. Hopefully, we will have some fun along the way as well.
