The Village School High School Varsity Swim Team is ready for their inaugural season of competition. They will swim under the leadership of Head Coach Doug Buckalew who comes to the Village School with many years of international swimming and coaching experience, and Assistant Coach Stephanie Phillips.

Under a partnership agreement with Energy Core Swimming, the team is holding formal practices on Tuesday and Saturday, while relying on the swimmers to attend their USA Swimming Club’s regularly scheduled practices in order to compliment their training.

The Men Viking Swimmers will be led by Nikita Z who is turning his water polo skills towards the pool for the 2015/2016 swim season. Sam Z, Dillon C & Frederico R, complement the Viking Men’s team.

The Lady Vikings are led by Nicole K, Hazel S & Kiera C. All three of these girls swim year-round and are hoping to help lead the women’s to becoming one of the top teams in TAPPS. The rest of the girl’s team are working on improving their techniques while competing at the Swim Invitationals along with the rest of the Varsity Squad.

The entire staff is excited about this inaugural season and is greatly encouraged by the level of commitment every swimmer has shown thus far and is looking forward to finishing the season on a strong note at TAPPS Regional Championships and hopefully qualifying some swimmers to State Championships.
