Aaron has been a competitive swimmer since the age of 6 where he first learned how to swim at the UACJ in Juarez, Mexico. In his club days, he spent his age group / HS career at AAAA Northside. He swam for Brandeis High School in San Antonio from 2011 to 2014, where he was a UIL 5A state champion and a team captain. He attended the University of the Incarnate Word from 2014 to 2019, where he was a member of the Men’s Swimming & Diving team that won multiple conference championships and also served as team captain. He has coached and swam at almost all levels of the sport, from summer league to the national level. He strongly believes that Streamline provides swimmers the best opportunity to succeed at the club level within the city of San Antonio.
Aaron believes that an environment high on positivity and filled with love for the sport births great, fast swimming. Growing up through the sport, he believes that swimming has shaped him into the person and coach he is today. The qualities instilled within him are what drive him to pass along as much knowledge as possible to these young swimmers, giving them the chance that his past/current coaches have given him.
Coming from a large swim club in the Alamo Area to Streamline has shown him what advantages working in a smaller club has. From top to bottom, Aaron says, “This organization generates the best environment for young swimmers to have the opportunity to achieve anything and everything they want in the sport.”

Coach Matthew began swimming at the age of six, with the Leon Valley Blue Marlins. In 2014, city hall decided to close down the pool the Marlins trained at. Matthew, along with many members of the team, went to many city hall meetings to protest. He asked his mother to make a mascot suit to aid the effort to keep the pool open, and thus Merlin the Marlin was born. After ensuring the pool remained open, Matthew starred as Merlin in every 4th of July parade and every big meet until the Marlins were eventually disbanded in 2017.
Matthew began training with the AAAA Nadadores, under Coach Don Walker, the same year the Marlins shut down. The following summer, Matthew joined the Northchase Piranhas as both an athlete and coach. He continued coaching summer league until 2024, becoming Head Coach of the new Leon Valley Lionfish in 2023, training at the same pool he fought to keep open almost ten years prior.
Matthew swam all throughout high school and beyond and currently is competing with the UIW Triathlon club. Matthew recently graduated from Northwest Vista College with an A.S. in Biology, and is currently studying Biochemistry at UIW. Matthew is studying to work in sports physiology research, specializing in swim related topics.
Coach Matthew firmly believes that we should strive to be excellent in all that we do, because how we do anything is how we do everything. “There are three things that define us as swimmers that have nothing to do with time standards and medals. One, our dedication to excellence. Two, how we can perform when conditions are not ideal. Third and most importantly, our impact on those around us at practice, meets, and everywhere else."
