It’s exciting to have Colleen Winans return as our head coach again this year. I am sure all of you agree our team is in fabulous hands with Colleen’s coaching expertise.
Head Coach Colleen Winans has been a certified swimming (and water aerobics instructor) at Anne Arundel Community College, the Severna Park Swimming Association (SPY), and private pools throughout Anne Arundel County. She has taught all ages and levels of swimming from babies with parent programs to senior citizens and triathletes. She has been a competitive Master’s Swimmer with SPY since 1994 and has served as a substitute coach for that program. She swam on a summer team, the Sleepy Hollow Legends in Orinda, CA and for Park Terrace in Sacramento, CA from ages 5-18. She coached a summer league team for two years in Lafayette, CA and was the Swimming Director for the University of California, Berkeley, Alumni Camp, the Lair of the Bear in Pinecrest, CA. She holds current certifications as a Water Safety Instructor (WSI) as well as Lifesaving, CPR, and First-Aid. She also has her Water Aerobics instructor’s certification. She holds scuba certification through NAUI as well. Colleen formerly was certified as a YMCA Level 2 Stroke and Turn Judge. She has passed her stroke and turn test for USA Swimming and has two more to go to be fully certified under their program. She is currently preparing for her Pool Operator’s licensing test. She has a BA in Mass Communications from the University of California, Berkeley.
She is well versed in all four competitive strokes, however, the Breaststroke is her favorite!
Colleen’s experience will undoubtedly assist our team in maintaining a competitive edge this summer, and her philosophy on swim team ensures fun for all ages — the most important thing!
Allie Bremer is back as Assistant Coach. She is a former SPY swim team swimmer with years of swimming experience. She graduated from the Severn School in 2010 and is currently attending Hofstra University.
