    RCT Athletics

    My name is Ryan Taylor. I began coaching at the age of 23. After spending 7 years working with NCAA and USA swimmers I wanted to broaden my horizons, and in 2021 I made the decision to commit fully to triathlon. Since then I've helped busy athletes reach the finish line of sprint, Olympic, and IRONMAN races.
