Swim Parents,

It has been my honor to have been able to coach The Pershing Swim Team this season.  I have had the honor of leading four swim teams to win the HISD Championships in my seven years of coaching in HISD.  However, I put this team at the top of the list in embodying what a "TEAM" is.  They have been dedicated, hard working, and have bonded.  I love seeing them support their teammates and be friends outside the pool and inside the walls of Pershing.  

The sixth grade coming up looks fantastic.  They are great swimmers.  They are great friends with each other.  I am super excited about the team we will have next year, as well.  We look to be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.  

Here is the announcement.
