January Interscholastic Coach of the Month Award

January 20, 2014 | By

 

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 January, we would like to acknowledge coach Patricia Acampora from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who has been a dedicated coach for over 10 years.

 

Name: Patricia "Coach Sue" Acampora
School: Parkland Magnet HS
City: Winston-Salem, NC
Years Coaching: 3 years at Parkland HS, 9 with Club/Summer League teams.
Biggest Team Success: 2013 4A Regionals participation. Parkland swam one women's 400 free relay! First qualifying entry from Parkland HS since 2008.
Favorite Thing About Coaching: Coaching novice/beginner level swimmers and watching them grow into athletes. I enjoy seeing former HS swimmers who go on to participate in their College Varsity/Club Team programs.
Favorite Drill: Classic "ZIPPER" drill, it fixes numerous common stroke flaws!

Congratulations, Coach Sue!
