OMSC announces coaching staff for the 2015-16 swim season
OMSC announces that Sue Morrison will be the new Head Coach for the coming swim season. Sue has been with OMSC for a number of years and we are pleased to be able to promote from within the coaching staff. Sue, working in conjunction with Pascal Sutherland, has spent a number of hours already to prepare a program that will have great deliverables for all levels of swimmers within our club for the coming season.
Sue Morrison is a long time coach and trainer. She has 27 years as a head coach, and 25 years as a Masters coach. She had her NCCP L3 Coach and has recently become a certified Level 2 Masters Swim Coach – U.S. Masters Swimming (not available in Canada). Sue will say that she is always seeking new and different swim education for ways to improve stroke and performance in all levels of athletes.
We also welcome back Pascal Sutherland, Jon Smirl, Rohan Jacobs, Christina Russo, Sally Wallick, and Thomas Robinson. Flo Masson will also return, as a substitute coach, and Desiree Henke will join our coaching team, also as a substitute. More details about each of our coaches and their amazing talents will come in future communications.
We also offer a heartfelt thank you to the coaches that will not be coaching again this year – Emil Dimitrov, David Dimitrov, Nick Rabinovitch, and Laura Doherty. Emil will be stepping down from his role as Head Coach for OMSC as he has been appointed the Head Coach for the Kelowna AquaJets. In addition to his new role, Emil will continue as Head Coach for the Liquid Lightning Swim Club and he will be working with Kierra Smith to prepare her for the 2016 Olympics. We have met with Emil and have expressed our sincere gratitude for all of his contributions to OMSC this past year.
