Welcome Back to PHS Swim & Dive Team 2011-2012
I hope your summers were restful and eventful, but it’s that time of year again. Are you ready? Let’s go!
COACHING STAFF CHANGES
We have been very fortunate to have great coaching, but as all things do, the coaching staff is changing this year. Here is the announcement regarding our Head Coach we received through club swim:
When Mike took over the Senior Program at Swim Neptune it was little more than a high school group without any Sectional level qualifiers. In three and a half years Mike grew the team to include 16 Sectional qualifiers this past season. He helped to create a foundation of excellence within Swim Neptune for our older swimmers to reach the highest levels of our sport. Coach Joe Johnson has been working closely with Coach Mike over the past season and knows all the kids in the group very well. We anticipate a very smooth transition as Joe Johnson takes over the Senior Group at the JCC.
Mike has been an incredible coach and addition to PHS. We are all very sad to see him go. Best wishes to you Mike!!!! We Love You!
Pinnacle has also hired a new Athletic Director who has been great to talk with so far and very responsive. As of now, we currently have a teacher representative who happens to be the parent of one of our incoming freshman this year, Mrs. Kelly Roman. We are excited to have her as a new addition to the team. She is eager to get moving and set the wheels in motion. Welcome Mrs. Roman!
There are currently postings for the Head Coach and Assistant Coach. Due to changes in coaching staff, practice times are TBA. As soon as we know, we will let you know as well as the day to begin practices and where.
