Meet the Coaches—2021 Swim Season
Pandemic conditions starting in Summer 2020 saw our coaching staff anchored to our roots and running leaner than years past. This year in 2021 we are remaining lean but effective. As always, please contact the board or coaches with any questions or observations for us to consider. Thank you for your support!
