Since 1995, Vanderzell has been the head coach for the Tonawanda
Titans. During his tenure with the Titans, he has helped form the
group into one of the premier swim clubs in New York State,
illustrated by the fact that 20 of the club’s members
qualified for the Zone Championships during the summer of 2008.
Those 20 swimmers accounted for half of the Eastern zone team.

Tim Bennett has been coaching with
the Titans since the summer of 1995. He is a Buffalo State College
and University of Buffalo graduate. Swimming for Buffalo State, he
set school records in the 200, 500, 1000, and 1650 freestyle
events. He spent one year as an assistant coach at each of his Alma
Maters. Prior to the Titans, Tim was a coach for the North
Tonawanda Swim Club and summer clinic. Since joining the Titans,
the team has grow from 75 swimmers to one of the largest in the
Eastern Zone. In the past 14 years, the Titans have won several
district championships, sent countless swimmers to the Eastern Zone
Championships, Super Sectional Meets, Junior National, and Senior
National Meets. We have had Zone Champions, National top 16,
National Top 10 swimmers, and broken countless district records.
Tim is proud to have been a part of this and plans on the team only
doing bigger and better things. Tim, as part of the Titans staff,
has twice been recognized as the Age Group Coach of the Year by the
American Swim Coaches Association and believes that the entire
staff is why we are one of the best swimming programs in the
Eastern Zone. “I am most proud of how many of our
swimmers continue to swim past Titans, the ones that return to swim
in the summer from college, the others that return to coach after
college, and now they are beginning to bring us their kids.”
