To best serve our 170+ swimmers, the board is currently working on hiring an enthusiastic staff of skilled instructors for the 2010 season.

Before we all know it, the 2010 Piranhas season will be underway, but before that can happen, the team needs to hire three assistant coaches to help out Head Coach Mandi.  If you're interested in working for the team, be sure to get your resume in by Tuesday, February 16.  

 
Go Piranhas!

General duties as an Assistant Coach will include:

·         Setting up equipment prior to practices;

·         Working with swimmers on swimming technique under the supervision of the Head Coach;

·         Putting up equipment and making sure the pool area is left in good condition after practices;

If you are interested in one of these positions, please forward your resume by email to Cindy Walker at walkercs@earthlink.net or piranhas_president@ yahoo.com by Tuesday, February 16, 2010.  If you have any questions about the positions, you may call Cindy Walker at 281-480-5661 for additional information.

 

Our head coach is Mandi Newton. She is the Head Swim, Dive, and Water Polo Coach at Clear Brook High School, and has many years of swimming experience from summer league all the way through college.

We will also have several volunteers (ages 12 and older) who will be helping our younger Piranhas in the pool.

Coach Mandi attended Alvin High School and started swimming as a sophomore where she was a 2 year letterman in swimming and water polo.  Coach Mandi graduated from McMurry University where she swam for 4 years, was a 4 year letterman, and a 2-time NSISC Conference Team Champion.   She has also coached summer league in Alvin for 3 years.  Coach Mandi will graduate from the University of Houston- Clear Lake with her Masters in Fitness and Human Performance in May.  Most recently, she has coached at Clear Brook High School for 2 years:  1 year as the Assistant Coach and 1 year as the Head Coach.

In working with summer league swimmers, Coach Mandi first likes to teach the stroke and then work on technique.  She believes that anyone can swim but with good technique, you can swim fast.  With younger and beginner swimmers, she likes to teach the “rules of swimming”, how a swim meet is run, and what to expect.  Coach Mandi likes to relax and have fun while working hard when working with summer league teams.  Coach Mandi does like to win meets, but as long as everyone is improving times and strokes, she is happy.  Coach Mandi is looking forward to a great summer!
