"I have seen some of the recent posts here, and I couldn't disagree more with what I am reading. I am wondering if these are even real Warriors writing these comments! So many of my teammates improved and have a good team bonding experience under the leadership with Coach Sean. I know he has been so helpful to me and so many others. He takes time to get to know every athlete and tries to help them, and I am a proud Warrior."

"Wayne state swimming was a complete different experience than I thought it would be. They preach bonding and make it appear as if everyone is kind and supportive but that is the opposite of reality. He picks his favorites and everyone else is nothing to him. He doesn’t even try to act like he cares about the slower swimmers. Workouts were bearable but results were not worth swimming under him. He preaches results but majority of people I swam with never beat their best times from high school. He’s very overrated. "

"Absolutely horrible coach. If you’re not the best swimmer he wants nothing to do with you. Team is also extremely clique. Saves all the money for foreigners and none for the average swimmers. Foreigners get food, school, housing paid for while other swimmers get nothing. Incredibly mean and crude. Picks a swimmer to pick on and will yell at them constantly. If you’re not a top scoring swimmer, don’t swim here save yourself your mental health, I wish I did. "

"Coach Peters wasn’t just a coach, but he was a mentor and someone I could look up to. He Cared about the swimmers student/academic life more than the athlete life which you don’t find a lot among college coaches. He is always eager and fired up to let you get better not just as an athlete but as a person as well. His practices are brutal but worth"
