Yay Johnny!

My name is Coach Johnny Foss and I am now in my eighth season with the mighty Stingrays. I am also the Head Swimming & Diving Coach at McNeil High School and have been for the last seven seasons. Even though I have had the opportunity to train and coach with some elite levels of swimming, I love the opportunity to help and encourage the development of grass-roots swimming. The NWSC is a recreational league that hopes to provide access to the greatest sport in the world...Swimming. My focus here at the Stingrays is to help young boys and girls learn a sport that will make them healthier, stronger, more confident and more social individuals. The sport of swimming provides access to an extremely large family of people wha are focused on improving themselves. That is our true focus here at the Stingrays. Get better today and have fun doing it. Bettering yourself everyday will always put you on a positive and productive path in life. And, the sport of swimming is an activity in which you can participate your entire life. For these reasons I truly believe I have dedicated my life to the greatest sport in the world...SWIMMING! See you in the pool! My email address: utfoss9@yahoo.com

..........And then there's Veronica DiLullo !?!

Hey Stingrays!!! This is my 6th season as a Stingray coach. I am now a certified USA swim coach and I spent this past year coaching for a club swim team. I graduated from Texas Tech University last May with a degree in Kinesiology, and I am going back to school this fall to get my master’s in occupational therapy. My dream is to one day open an aquatic therapy center to combine my love of swimming with my future career. If you want to get on my good side, I love to eat! Especially watermelon and breakfast tacos!

I am returning for my 2nd year as a Stingray coach. I swam on the Stingrays for 13 years and I was also a volunteer coach for three years! I just finished my second year at ACC and I am happy to say in the Fall I will be attending the nursing school at UT. My favorite food is anything Italian and my favorite color is blue!

.......... Amanda Rees!

This is my second year coaching the Stingrays. I swam for ten years, one of those with the Stingrays! I also swam on the McNeil High School team. I just finished up my Sophomore year at ACC and will continue there one more year while I teach at Milwood Preschool. I love fruit snacks and especially strawberries - perhaps it's why I have red hair - or vice versa? I am looking forward to having an awesome summer with you all!

..........Hey Lauren

Hey team! My name's Lauren and this is my first year coaching! I swam Stingrays for ten years and I was a volunteer coach for the past two. I'm currently a senior at McNeil High School where I also swam for four years. In the fall, I will be heading to Fort Worth to attend TCU (Go Horned Frogs!) and hoping to become a Physical Therapist. My favorite color is green and I love eating apples! Editor's note: Don't you think she should change her favorite color to purple? Perhaps in the next four years, she will.
