Strength Training Coach Amy Caldwell

Amy brings significant credentials to our "Weights in the Warehouse" program. She earned a Masters Degree in Physical Education from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and is also a personal trainer, certified by the American Council on Exercise. Although she is relatively new to the masters swimming arena, she swam competitively on summer league teams and in high school, where she was also a cheerleader and ran track. Amy is still a great cheerleader, only now she cheers our team on to new levels of strength by directing our fitness goals.

Webmistress, Marketing Director and Head Cheerleader Jean Mainland

What began as a hobby has become a second "career" for Jean. She earned a degree in Mass Communications, with an emphasis in television, and set out on her quest to become the anchor-for-life on the Today Show. Life can be a fickle mistress, and things just didn't work out exactly as she anticipated, and after years of career changes, she became a paralegal. Yet another questionable career choice, but it paid the bills. Because law is not necessarily the most creative field around (or is it?), Reeno, as she is known to the team, needed a creative outlet. Thus, she became webmistress and marketing director. After an offer of an early (I mean INCREDIBLY way too honkin' EARLY) retirement package from a major US automobile manufacturer's captive credit company, she took the money and ran, and she now serves as the full time office manager at Sea Star, where she keeps the kiddies enrolled, manages the Pro Shop and tries to keep Coach Ron organized (a full time job)!

Reeno is new to swimming. A total "swim phobic", Coach Ron taught her to swim just a few years ago, which earned him many karma points, her undying gratitude and the title of the "Most Patient Man Alive". Although she never lost the fear, she has even managed to compete at the 2004 USMS Short Course Nationals, despite a panic attack. While an NQT probably isn't in the cards, she hopes to live long enough to place in a heat. Or to get her 50 free under 1:30. Whichever comes first.
