Erica Zuercher

I began with USSC as the Head Age Group Coach (2002-2007). In September 2007, I accepted the position of Head Coach of USSC.  I look forward to working with this highly talented coaching staff and helping our swimmers grow as young people and athletes within the program we offer here at USSC.

Prior to my coaching career, I swam as an age-group swimmer in Wisconsin, Oregon, and Kentucky and was a State Qualifier every year from 8-18 years-old. I went on to swim at Oakland University and become captain of my team. I earned a degree in Psychology with a Minor in Exercise Science in 2000, and a Masters in Counseling in 2009. I previously coached at Rochester High School as an Assistant Coach and Head Coach 1999-2007, coaching numerous Oakland County and State Qualifiers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Susan Roesch
-Head Age Group Coach

  My name is Susan Roesch and three of my favorite things are swimming, teaching, and kids.  I started coaching in 1988 and come to USSC by way of Lake Orion Liquid Lightning, Marietta Y Marlins, and Katy (Texas) Aquatics.  Until two years ago I juggled coaching with raising three girls, working in community mental health, and counseling families with youth in the court system.  Now I am just juggling coaching. I live with my husband of twenty-seven years, Bill, one dog, and two cats.  Our daughters all started swimming on an age-group team and swam through college. Our youngest is still swimming as a sophomore at Wittenberg University in Ohio. I have known Erica since we first moved to Michigan in 2000 and I am thrilled to be able to coach with her again.  I am very excited to join such a dynamic and growing swim program and look forward to meeting all of you.
