Sublette County Swim Team

I am like most of our SCST swimmers, swimming since the age of eight. My start was with a local summer league club in Lancaster PA, Golden Meadows Swim Club. Unlike here in Wyoming, this was an outdoor 25 meter pool.  Swim meets were held every Tuesday night at both home and other community team pools. I competed in all age groups through the age of eighteen. 

 

In addition to summer league swimming, I trained with the Lancaster Aquatic Club throughout high school. As an amateur athlete, back when there was an amateur athletic union, this gave me the opportunity to compete throughout north eastern part of the United States and eventually an opportunity to compete for the USA on a 16 and under team against Germany. 

 

I was recruited by NC State University and swam all four years 79-82. My NCSU men’s teams captured all Atlantic Coast Conference championships totaling 13 straight years as conference champions. In 1982, as a college senior, I was awarded the men’s Atlantic Coast Conference swimmer of the year. 

After graduation, I coached the Triangle Swim Club summer league swim team in Cary NC for two years. A club of approximately 100 swimmers ages 5-18. In our second season, this group improved to capture the Division title.

 

Additionally, I’ve played many roles on various types of swim clubs from summer league to high school. I’ve started teams, managed teams, officiated, timed, and been a supportive parent as my own son swam throughout high school. 

Now I’m coaching a fantastic group of Pinedale swimmers who never cease to amaze me with their talent. As a team we have had huge successes at our divisional and championship meets. Topping this year, our SCST swim team board and team parents have initiated one of the best themed swim meets in the western Wyoming area, the Pirate Plunge, RRRR!!!! I’m excited to continue coaching with SCST and enthusiastic to see our program continue to grow.
