About the Coaches

 

Head Coach:

Brooke Casteel.  Brooke has been with the team for 5 years.  This coming year will be her third year as head coach.  Over the years she has been blessed to see many children break free and become very competitive swimmers and it has been a joy to watch.  She swam on the WaNee Waves as a child and started around the age of 9.  Over the years she swam competitively on the middle school team to go on to join the high school team.  She now has the opportunity to work with children and help them gain the knowlege of the strokes, as well as to help them set and reach goals.

Michele Yoder.  Michele has been with the team for about 4 years.  She has stepped up and worked with the younger/new swimmers coming in and training them the techniques for the stroke we use.  This year, she has stepped up and became our entry chairmen, and has done a wonderful job at getting the information out to the swimmers in advance and spending countless hours getting us signed up.   Her time and hard work is greatly appreciated!
