Wecome to Hill swimming! The program includes boys' and girls' varsity and JV swimming and diving.
Program visions and goals:
Hill swimming has a long and glorious tradition of excellence. Many swimmers have gone on to swim in competitive college programs and beyond, including in at least one case, the Olympics.
My vision is to continue that tradition of excellence both in and out of the pool by developing competitive swimmers who also are exemplary citizens of the community and the world. The entire season is geared towards having the elite athletes perform at their best during the Eastern Interscholastic Swimming and Diving Championships (Easterns) at the end of February, while having the rest of our swimmers peak at our Mid Atlantic Prep League Championship meet in the middle of February.
During the 2010-11 season, my first overall goal was to establish a separate junior varsity program, given the growth in the number of swimmers in the program from around 35 to more than 50. My second goal was to have the girls' team break at least one of the School relay records. Both goals were accomplished; I look forward to another successful season working with the beginning swimmers to the record-setters, and everyone in between.
The 2011-12 season promises to be another successful one as several key returning letter winners led by Kara Beckman '13, Renee Donado '12, Henry Lawrence '12, Phil Lvov '12, Lyndsey Marcheskie '12, Maddison Marcheskie '14, Gil Ravenel '13, Maho Sakuma '12, and Brett Trumbauer '12 who will look to mesh with talented newcomers Liz Cossel '14, Robert Sutherland '12, Richard Thomas '12, and Gigi Tompkins '14 to form a championship caliber team.
