Jim Ellis Booking Agency Profile

Book Jim Ellis for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Under Coach Ellis' direction, a diverse and inclusive community of kids has had access to competitive swimming opportunities for almost 50 years. He pushes the kids to reach their full potential and instills in them the values of PRIDE, DETERMINATION, and RESILIENCE, which are the acronym for the former Philadelphia Department of Recreation. Based in the Marcus Foster Recreation Center in the Nicetown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Ellis started the P.D.R. (Philadelphia Department of Recreation) Swim Team after taking a job in a poor neighborhood, as the film Pride tells the story.
Ellis has been introducing competitive swimming to inner city youngsters and their families for the past 36 years. The young athletes can develop and compete in a healthy and stimulating atmosphere thanks to his coaching and guidance. The program exposes swimmers to diverse lifestyles and other regions of the nation through travel to competitive events. As the top predominantly African American competitive swim team in the country today, P.D.R. has set the standard for urban swim programs across the nation. More than one hundred of his swimmers received swimming scholarships to college..

An example fee to book Jim Ellis is in the starting range of $7,500-$14,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
