Alexander Gehrig

Head of Operations & Instructor

Hello everyone, my name is Alex Gehrig. Ive been passionate about swimming ever since I jumped off the big diving board when I was 5😂. I later rediscovered the sport as a form of cross-training, which helped me excel and shatter school records in cross-country and track. I'm currently a sophomore at Auburn and studying Finance. I bring a patient and engaging attitude to every lesson  I teach. My CPR/AED and First Aid certifications, combined with my hands-on teaching experience, have fueled my dedication to making a meaningful difference in his students’ progress.  I enjoy reading,  playing cards, and learning new languages.

    Cale DeLisi

       Auburn Instructor

Hi! My name is Cale DeLisi, I'm from a small town in East Texas called Mount Pleasant. I am currently a freshman at Auburn University, where I'm studying Agricultural Science on the pre-veterinary track.

I have always had a passion for swimming and became a certified lifeguard in 2024. My interest in water safety became deeply personal after my brother nearly drowned a few years ago. That experience inspired me to help others learn how to swim and to create a safe, supportive, and stress-free environment around water.

Caring for others has always been an important part of my life. Outside of school, I work as a babysitter and a nurse assistant, roles that have strengthened my sense of responsibility and compassion. Growing up as the seventh of thirteen siblings has also given me a deep appreciation for family and a natural connection with kids of all ages.

In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, cooking, baking, playing the piano, traveling, and spending time talking with my siblings.
