About Me
My name is Bobby Manning. I am the Primary Swim Instructor at BobbMann Swim. The beginning of my swimming career began in 2011 at Lifetime Fitness in Garland. At that time, I knew I had found my passion in teaching kids how to swim. I started as a swim instructor, and quickly was added to the Lifetime Fitness swim team program as the Assistant Swim Team Coach. I was a part of Lifetime for about two years until I had to move on to more of a career. I then spent the next 10 years of my life in the Audio Visual industry. There, I started in the warehouse and eventually became "Road Warrior" as a traveling Video Engineer. I loved my job as a Video Engineer and i learned many things, but i realized, there is no way to have a home life when you live on the road. I then decided to try and find my way into the Fitness industry. I got My Personal Training Certification in January 2021. Throughout my job hunt, i landed a job at Cooper Fitness Center as a Swim Instructor. I immediately regained all of the knowledge I had learned at Lifetime Fitness in 2011 and finally was able to re-pursue this passion that I had left behind. I spent one year at Cooper Fitness perfecting my curriculum and teaching styles. Unfortunately, I had to leave the Cooper swim program but immediately was able to keep my momentum going with home swims. I have been fortunate enough to build my clientele through referrals. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far in my new career as a swim instructor.
This is only the beginning for BobbMann Swim!
