Founded in 2008
by Head Coach, Marisa Watts Cozort, Swim South Bay is the
"boutique" team of the South Bay. Through coaching, running
swim lessons, teaching and being a parent herself, Marisa created a
team in which she would WANT to put her own children into.
BAY caters to the needs of the busy Bay Area family; to those who
want to "try out" being on a swim team, to those who have made our
sport a part of their family life, and everyone in between!
With no mandatory volunteer hours, required number of practices to
attend each week and coaches who do not believe that swimming is
THE most important part of your swimmers' lives (but rather a part
of the bigger picture), that leaves us with a group of water lovers
who ENJOY being at the pool! Swim South Bay has a group that
fits the needs of every swimmer.
Our aquatics
staff emphasizes individual
and team growth with professional guidance that stresses a thorough
knowledge of the sport, a healthy lifestyle and the spirit of
sportsmanship. You entrust your children to our coaching staff and
we hope to provide them with a safe and nurturing
environment. We seek to provide an opportunity for all water
lovers, regardless of age and ability, to reach their highest
personal potential as both people and athletes. We understand
that winning is much more than a place at the end of a race or
score at the end of the game . Our staff is committed to
helping your children grow in character, physical development and
skill. But most importantly, we hope your water lovers will
have fun!
BAY was
founded on the premise of teaching “balance”
to our swimmers. Too many youth sports today follow
the “all or nothing” approach to sport and to
life. Our staff believes there is more to life
than swimming and we encourage our athletes to experience all
it has to offer. We hope our swimmers learn to love our sport
just as much as we do, but encourage them to live beyond the
pool. There are ways to maintain a healthy balance of
family, school, faith and sports. BAY provides one path while
helping your children learn, grow and excel in swimming. Many
of our swimmers have already found swimming to be their
“calling” and have BIG goals ahead of them. We
will encourage, train and help each and every one of them
reach their individual goals -- no matter how big or
small.
We provide four major practice groups for
our swimmers: Senior and Varsity (advanced competitive), High
School Prep, JV+ and Junior Varsity (intermediate competitive),
Gold and the Seasonal Race Team (for beginners and intermediate
swimmers.) We also have an adult lap swim program -- see the
Masters tab under "Site Map" above.
The Swim
South Bay Coaching Staff and I are dedicated to the success and
improvement of our team as a whole and of each individual swimmer.
We are confident that you will enjoy the BAY experience and wish
you success in your swimming endeavors.
