    Is she really the head coach?

    agree with previous review, she doesn't coach nearly as much as her husband, she is much nicer but seems to be pretty uninvolved in the nitty gritty. She focuses mostly on forwards and attacking but is very outdated and sessions are boring and uninspired.

    HonestKnowledgeableBelieves In YouCreates A Great Team CulturePassionate About Coaching

    Any coaching change is hard, and the switch from the prior coaching staff to his was intense. Jeff cares immensely about the success of individual swimmers and the team as a whole, in and out of the pool. Watching him cheer, jump up and down, and stomp his feet during meets and practice is proof of that. He has high expectations for swimmers, and truly wants all of us to exceed them. His passion for the sport and the team bleeds into his coaching and relationships with the swimmers. I have never felt uncomfortable going to him with an issue, as I know it will be taken seriously and that we will be able to come to a solution together. He is a great coach. He has completely changed the team culture into something unrecognizable from when he first came here. It is an environment of support, sisterhood, and respect. I am so grateful that he chose to come to South Carolina.

    Old School MentalityPoor Communication

    Not really the head coach. Her husband Jamie is. And he is very different in terms of his demeanor to players. Jamie calls the shots at practice and in games. There is little extra curricular fun for the players in their very limited spare time. Beware of getting early minimum season game play that can burn your red shirt option.
