Rob and Chris Knight
RKSA was founded in June 1992 - it had been a life long dream of Robs to open his own SwimSchool. The opportunity presented itself when the former BJHS was sold once the new school was built. The former BJHS was purchased by a local couple who developed the building into a flourishing business with many tenants.
After operating RKSA out of that facility for 30 years, they moved their complete operation to Four Seasons in May 2022.
Rob had an outstanding swim career and still enjoys swimming for fun. Rob was a University of Illinois Agronomy major and likes to garden and play golf in his spare time. Chris, an ISU graduate, runs the business side of the operation and likes to play tennis and golf. They have one daughter, Kathleen, who swam for the University of Illinois.
