Fall Winter Asistant Coach – Cahil Collins
Summer Assistant Coach – Brian Storhaug
I started swimming at the young age of six, and was told I was a fish in water. My parents enrolled me in Red Cross swimming lessons and I lasted one short session. As the other kids in class were learning to blow bubbles, I was sporting goggles and having a blast playing and diving underwater. Swim club was where I needed to be. It became the highlight of my elementary years, but in junior high was where I honed my technique. I continued swimming and was a four letter winner on the Varsity Swim Team. During my senior year, I was captain of the team and presented the Most Valuable Swimmer Award. In June of 2009, I graduated from Jefferson High School. This summer is my second year of coaching and I love to see kids improve at every practice. I also work for Lakes Area Rec and am a head lifeguard and beach supervisor. This fall I will be starting my junior year at the University of North Dakota pursuing a Physical Therapy degree. Go Sioux!!
