Niskayuna High School Pool

The modified swim team includes boys and girls in grades 7-9. We have over 40 swimmers and divers of all levels each season. We practice from 5-6:30 pm, Monday-Friday. The team is very competitive and focuses on stroke development, sprinting, and good sportsmanship. We start practice the Monday after Thanksgiving and end during the first week of February. There is a nice group of students who have graduated from the team that help me coach each day.

The Edison Club is a country club, located in update NY which includes dining, banquets, golf, tennis and a 33 1/3 yards outdoor pool.

I work along side of many other coaches to make the swim and dive team a summer experience that kids and their families will never forget. We work hard to create a warm and fun filled atmosphere.
