Interscholastic Coach of the Month Award

Coaches are the backbone of any swim team. They offer motivation, support, advice, praise and criticism.

Without a swim coach, many swimmers might not have the self-discipline and determination necessary to achieve success.

For that reason, SwimOutlet.com has teamed up with the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) – the organization of high school swim coaches – to celebrate a monthly SwimOutlet.com Interscholastic Coach of the Month Award.

For November, we would like to acknowledge coach Sam Serio from McKinney, Texas, who has been coaching for almost half a century.

Congratulations, Sam!
