Head Coach – Patrick Finley (Lead coach for 13+Over)
I would first like to say how excited I am to again be a Seminole Shark this summer! It’s going to be a fun and thrilling summer. This summer I will again be leading the 13 and older swimmers. I started swimming when I was 8 for a small club team from my home town (Waunakee) called WRAT. I swam there up until high school where I was a co-captain and varsity swimmer all four years. Throughout my high school career at Waunakee, I was also swimming for Badger Aquatics Club and also swam the summer of my senior year at Cherokee Country Club. I am currently swimming for the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire and this past year was a co-captain for the guy’s team. I am going into my senior year and majoring in graphic design.
