William R Barton
Head Coach
Email
With a coaching career that spans over 4 decades and
two powerful countries, and a resume taller than he is, Coach
Barton has placed swimmers in the Olympics, Pan American Game &
many international competitions. Having coached at
Universities with names like Duke & Cornell, and Florida State,
it’s easy to understand why he has so many coaching awards
and honors at so many levels. Even though his personal
accomplishments include National, All American & NCAA
championships, some of the many things his swimmers are so proud of
are his World Records in the 200 & 400 Individual Medley and
his 200 Butterfly events. The other biggie in their minds is
that, no matter what he might forget, he ALWAYS remembers every
single one of their times & splits, for as long as he has
coached them. Parents also love that he believes studies come
first. CBA is thrilled to have Coach Barton as their Head
Coach!

Blake Stevens is
a proud Corpus Christian who has always lived in Corpus Christi
Texas. One of the things that makes Blake so proud to live in
Corpus Christi is being a part of its largest and fastest
growing US Swim Team, the Coastal Bend All-Stars. Blake Stevens'
competitive talents for swimming were discovered in his
eighth-grade year during a physical education swim program at
Flour Bluff High School. He was told that he was faster then anyone
on the team, after that he shortly joined. In high school he swam
all four years and in his junior and senior year he went to State
in the 50yd freestyle , the 100yd backstroke and a 200yd freestyle
relay. He still holds the Flour Bluff High School record for the
hundred backstroke with a time of 56.91. Blake's high school coach,
Bill Barton, taught him lessons that not only apply to swimming but
life as well. These lessons influenced Blake's many years of work
in the aquatics industry as he lifeguarded, taught swim
lessons, maintained and managed pools and coached swimming.
Working for the City of Corpus Christi, CCISD, Delmar College and
CBA Blake has worked for some of Corpus Christi's finest swimming
institutions. Blake firmly believes that coaching is instructing,
teaching, and learning.
