Message from the Swimming Coach:

The philosophy of Girls Swimming at Kent is simple: improve one’s times through a commitment and dedication to consistently practicing at a championship level. Coaches focus on improving strength, endurance, and technique through a regimented training program which involves both dry-land and weight training workouts combined with time in the pool. In addition, we strive to teach our swimmers to be confident and supportive student-athletes who challenge themselves and one another both in and out of the pool.

Coach Claire Minneman became head coach of Girls Varsity Swimming in 2011. After four years as an assistant coach, she is pleased to take over the role of head coach.  Coach Minneman swam competitively for fourteen years, and was a member of her high school’s state championship team for three years.  Former head coach Julie Zurolo is looking forward to working as an assistant coach this year.  Assistant coach Alexandra Kelly rounds out the girls’ varsity coaching staff. 

It would be great to tell you more about our team in person.
