Coaching Staff
Lori has been involved in coaching for a number
of years and has been part of New England
Swimming since she was a swimmer growing up in
Haverhill, MA. She has been a coach for the
Cedardale
Swim Team for the past 13 summers. Lori worked
full-time as an assistant coach for the senior program
and
head coach of the 12 and under program at
Merrimack Valley Pirates/ Magnus Aquatic Group/
Crimson
Aquatics since September 2002 after graduating
from Bates College in Lewiston, ME. During her time at
that
program, Lori's swimming philosophies and
training design was an instrumental part in winning twelve
New
England 12 and Under Championships and two New
England 14 and Under Championships. She has
also
served as assistant coach for the Andover High
School Girls Swim Team in 2008 and 2009, in which they
won
their tenth MIAA State Championship. In our
first year as Phoenix Swimming, her proudest moments
were
having the entire team qualify for Regionals,
placing 8th at 12 and Under Championships, and bringing
40
swimmers to 14 and Under Championships and
finishing 4th in all of New England. Lori is a Level
II
American Swim Coaches Association certified
coach and is also Lifeguard, CPR, First Aid and Water
Safety
Instructor certified. With this experience and
through continuously seeking knowledge to provide the
best
training techniques and drills to her swimmers,
Lori is excited by the challenges and new expectations of
our
2011-2012 season. She will be responsible for
the seasonal training plans and will have involvement with
all
swimmers. We are Phoenix
Swimming!
In our inaugural season, Matt's role, coaching philosophy, and
“voice” as a coach became much more developed and
defined. Through experiences of coaching all levels, assisting with
the structure and progression of the seasonal plans and team
development, attending the National Diversity Camp
Coaches Program at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado
Springs, CO, and being selected as a Zones Championships coach
for the 2011 Long Course New England team, Matt grew both
personally and professionally. Matt is currently a member of
the New England Swimming Age Group Committee. His confidence,
knowledge, humor, and charisma are all vital aspects of this team.
However, most important to the team's success is Matt's
commitment to each of the swimmers both in and out of
the pool.
