Hello swimmers!

My name is Coach Brandon and I will be the Head Coach of the Belmont Sharks for the summer of 2009 swim season!

Here’s a little background information about me and my swimming career…

I started off taking swim lessons when I was about 10 years old and from that point on I loved being in the water.  I played other sports like baseball, basketball and football as well, but I always loved swimming!  I went to high school in Texas and for three years I swam year round for Texas Aquatics and for two years I swam for my high school.  I was one of two captains of my high school team my senior year.  I still swim for fun, but my competition days ended shortly after I graduated…  for now!  The future may still hold a few races for Coach Brandon!

I began giving swim lessons and coaching age group swim teams in high school and I did that for about two years.  Since high school, I have been giving swim lessons on and off for the past ten years.  However, this past summer I jumped back into coaching full speed and I have loved every minute of it.  I began doing a few swim lessons at the end of the 2008 summer and I have rapidly progressed to coaching two teams.  I am an assistant coach for Blue Waves at the Ashburn Pavilion and I am the assistant coach for Stone Bridge High School, GO BULLDOGS!!

I am also a middle school teacher for Loudoun County Public Schools.  I love teaching, studying, researching, and learning all about HISTORY!

I look forward to working with all of you and I know the Belmont Sharks Swim Team will have a super fun and very productive summer of 2009!  GO SHARKS!!!

See you at the pool!

My name is Coach Courtney and I will be the Assistant Head Coach of the Belmont Sharks for the 2009 summer swim season.
I have been swimming on a club team since I was 5 years old. Between the ages of 10-15 I swam for Snow Swimming. I swam for PFHS for four years, and was a top state competitor during those years. I also swam for the Sterling Seahawks (I know one of our competitors) the summer before I started my senior year of high school. During that summer I helped the coaches with the younger members of our team.
I am currently a sophomore at James Madison University where I help run and also swim on JMU’s Club Swim Team. Over the past few years I have been giving private swim lessons and find that I really enjoy coaching younger swimmers.  Since I have four younger brothers and sisters I seem to work well with swimmers of all ages.
I know I am really going to enjoy coaching The Belmont Sharks this summer.
Go Sharks!
