Cheryl Barborich - Coach-8&U, Age Group Bronze

With a passion for the sport of swimming and the love for kids, coaching for SWAT for
the past 13 years seems like the perfect fit for me. Having been in the coaching arena for the past 20 years and being part of other swimming programs it is my opinion that the SWAT program and its beliefs and philosophy is the best of the best. Having experienced competitive swimming since the age of 5, I think it makes me a more understanding coach. I truly enjoy being part of the development of our young swimmers and watching them over the years move up the ranks. Many of them initially 8&U’s move on and eventually contribute to area high school teams and even the Whitnall High School’s team that I have helped coached for the past 10 years. I have also enjoyed working at the Southwest YMCA for the past 21 years in their aquatics program. Wife of Dennis and mother of 3 grown boys I love my family and job! I have been truly blessed.  Thank you everyone for allowing me to be part of your child’s development not only in the water but out of the water as well. I will not let you down, that’s a promise!
