Adam L. Scott -  Head Coach

Coach Adam Scott brings a wide variety of experiences and expertise to B.E.A.T.  As a full time coach, he is able to dedicate all of those resources to the team and his swimmers. 

Coach Adam holds a BS in Psychology with a Minor in Leadership from Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, VA.  He is also qualified as a Certified Fitness Trainer (CFT) through The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), a Level II certified coach with the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA), and a nationally ranked US Masters Swimmer.

Before coaching with Bay's Edge Aquatic Team ( B.E.A.T.), Coach Adam was a Special Operations Diving Officer for the United States Navy and later, the Youth Programs Coordinator for The City of Portland.  His coaching experiences include serving as assistant Age-Group Coach with Bull City Aquatics and heading the Hope Valley Swim Club, both in Durham, North Carolina.

Coach Adam approaches his job with as much a teaching mentality as a training one.  Striving to educate his swimmers on fitness, nutrition, goal setting, sports psychology and proper swimming technique, Coach Adam’s goal is to create a dynamic and evolving training environment that is enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding to his athletes while also providing guidance in how to be better both in the pool and out.
