Welcome to our 2010/2011 season.
We welcome back our head coach Tina Cecala
Why our swim team? Because we believe in an environment where we will bring out the best in your swimmer. Athletes, especially children learn and perform when encouraged, and shown how to excel and be the strongest competitor they can be. Our coaches have strong backgrounds in technique and conditioning.
When you join a swim team, you are joining something more than just a team. Parents and swimmers alike are making life long friends. In addition to developing very competitive swimmers we make it fun and treat you like family.

Read Tina's bio below and you will see why we are excited to have her back!
Our head coach, Tina Cecala and the coaching staff are eager to meet with our returning swimmers. Tina and Josh's goal is to create an all-inclusive program personally tailored to each swimmer's needs. They are committed to increasing communication and will schedule time to listen to parents' and swimmers' concerns. Their long range plans include a cooperative dry-land and a year round swimming program that will allow swimmers to reach their maximum potential and achieve their best times. It is their goal to increase the number of swimmers qualifying for YMCA State Championships, YMCA Nationals, and USA Swimming Championships.
