Tidal Waves Families,

We want to introduce our new assistant coach -- Jill King -- to the Tidal Waves!  She will be leading our evening practices and helping Coach Eryn at our swim meets.  Please welcome her to our swim family.

Jill's bio is as follows and can also be found on our website at www.TidalWavesSwim.com/coaches.html.

Jill graduated from University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a B.S. in Health and Physical Education.  She has been a P.E. teacher in this area for 34 years with the last 24 being at Wallace Smith Elementary here in Ooltewah.

Jill coached swimming at the Greater Chattanooga Aquatics Club (now Baylor Swim Club) from 1998 - 2000.  She has also coached swimming at various summer teams through the 80's and 90's  at Chattanooga Golf & Country Club, Hurricane Creek, and Brainerd Hills.  Jill continues to coach elementary cross country and track.

Jill is married with 2 children and a 22 month old grandchild.  She has had the opportunity to coach swimming and be a swim parent.  Both of her children grew up participating in Summer Swim League teams and Year Round Swim teams.  Her son swam for both McCallie and University of Wyoming, and he was the Assistant Swim Coach for Eastern Illinois University.

We welcome Jill to our swim family and look forward to her coaching at our meets and leading the evening practices for the Tidal Waves!
