It is such a kick, as a college coach, to see your athletes fall into coaching positions after graduation. I am so excited at the number of recent Simmons swimming alums that have secured great coaching jobs, whether full-time, part-time or volunteer positions. They are paying it forward and using their knowledge, passion and experience to influence young athletes.
Keri Ann Arsenault, class of 2009, works full-time as an Age Group coach for the Raleigh Swim Association, a reputable and growing club team in North Carolina.
Julia Herman, class of 2009, serves as the Head Coach of the Furquay-Varina High School swim team, also in NC.
Caitlin Urciuoli, class of 2010, recently accepted a head coaching job for the Northern Middlesex YMCA Barracudas in Connecticut.
Brittany Torelli, class of 2010, is now the Head Coach for the Simmons Masters Swim Team. And from what I hear, she's whipping those old fogies into shape!
Nellie Jackson, class of 2011, continues to coach with the Boston Elite Swim Team, an age group program that operates out of 21 Boston pools and provides a competitive swimming opportunity for inner-city youth.
...Just to name a few!

Mount Monadnock
A handful of the Simmons Swimmers made the trip up to Mount Monadnock in Jaffrey, NH for a pre-season hike. We couldn't have asked for a better day for the three hour trek. There was sunshine, a cool breeze and an amazing view! What a perfect opportunity for team bonding (before the season even starts)... imagine that!
A few of us were a little SORE on Monday morning! But considering we're all water creatures, we did quite well on land.
