PDF Throughout the past few months, the Hamden/North Haven YMCA Typhoon swim team has searched for two new coaches (one to lead the Gold group as the age group head coach, and a second to act an an overall assistant coach). I am proud to announce that the Typhoons have successfully found two coaches to fill those voids.
Coach Laura DeGore will have take on her first season with the Typhoons during the 2010/2011 Short Course season. Laura comes to the team with over 2 years of coaching experience; most notably with the USC swim camp. She has an outstanding approach to coaching, and will be a great asset as the Head Age Group coach for the Gold group. Aside from coaching, Laura is currently a swimmer for Southern Connecticut State University Owls. Coach Laura looks to continue the success of the Gold group by focusing on individual and overall stroke technique while having a ton of fun.
Coach Kathy May joins the Typhoons for the 2010/2011 Short Course season with several years experience encompassing all areas of aquatics (coaching, learn to swim, etc). Kathy has a significant background in U.S. Swimming as a stroke and turn official, and U.S. certified coach. She will be assisting primarily the Juniors and Seniors, but will also help the Silver and Gold groups throughout the year while placing a large emphasis on proper stroke technique.
Along with the two new coaches, we still have our Head Age Group coach for the Silver group (Nicole Fuller) returning for her second season with the Typhoons. Nicole did a phenomenal job last year coaching the kids, and looks to improve on their success from this past year (and summer season).
And, of course, I (Andy Scherer) will be returning for my third season as the Head Coach for the Hamden/North Haven YMCA Typhoons. I am absolutely looking forward to another great season with the swimmers, parents, and fans!
Overall, this is shaping up to be a great season so make sure you tell your friends that the Typhoons are getting bigger and better again this year! Registration continues to go well, and our swim team spots are filling up rapidly. As always, if you have any questions or need any other information please feel free to contact me via e-mail or call 203-248-6361, and….
Go Typhoons!
