Nils Bognar.

I'm the second oldest of five siblings, and all of us swam. Sports and learning communities across the Southeast have been a huge part of my life. This is the space I love, and the space I want to stay in.

Operationally, I've engaged more than 350 families in lessons across Atlanta in a single year, coached club and summer-league swimmers, launched a year-round Masters group that grew to 25 swimmers in two months, and led a 120+ member adult summer team for three years.

I've also sat through the unglamorous side of this: diligence on a soda shop where the landlord would only offer two years, a swim club where the accountants surfaced hidden capex, a coffee shop the landlord wanted me to take over. Walking away from the wrong deal is most of the job.

If you own one of these places, you'll be talking to me, not an associate.
