Josh Davis IS swimming. So much so that on any given day, he’s commentating a swim meet, relating his relay team experience to corporate managers, and encouraging school children to pursue excellence. He’ll also be at a pool somewhere in the country conducting a Mutual of Omaha Breakout! Swim Clinic. That’s where he really shines. Josh – a masterful swim clinician – impacts thousands of swimmers and their parents as he reaches out to teach, encourage and inspire everyone to be the
best they can be.
