2012-13 Season  August 1 – November 3

The St. Joe Swim Team is a competitive team which competes against other high schools throughout the state.  Guys and girls grades 7-12 comprise the team.   We compete in 5-6 meets a season including the State Meet.  The 2011-12 team finished third in the state in both the girls and boys division with two individual state champs and 2 championship relay teams.

Lauri Stamm Collins is the coach. She has over thirty years of experience teaching and coaching swimming. She has coached the Vicksburg Swim Team, the River Hills interclub team, the Cypress Lake Sea Lions (City Champs for 12 years) and with MS Makos, the state champion club team.  She invites any student who likes to swim and is willing to practice hard to be a part of the team. Swimmers do not have to have prior experience to join the team.

The St. Joe team is a popular sport at St. Joe for several reasons:

1.  It starts at the beginning of the year so lets people instantly have a group of which to be a part.

2.  All swimmers get to participate in all meets with the exception of State Meet which requires qualifying times.

3.  Camaraderie is strong because swimmers go to breakfast together after morning practice.  Juniors and seniors take the underclassmen with them.

Practices are held in the mornings before school and several days after school.  Swimmers are required to practice 4 days a week.

Please email Coach Collins if you are planning to swim for St. Joe this fall.  We will be ordering t-shirts and suits in the next 3 weeks.
