Pat Wickering
Senior Blue group coach
Email Coach Pat
I have been coaching swimming for 12 years. I started coaching with the Ypsi Otters Swim Club. Kelton taught me a lot about the sport and he was a good mentor for me while I was with the Otters. In 2005, I took the assistant coaching position at Saline with the SST program and the High School team. There, I had the opportunity to learn a lot about the sport with training the athletes and the various styles of teaching stroke technique. I had the honor of being a part of four state titles with the girls and boys high school teams. I graduated from Eastern Michigan with a bachelors in science. Area of focus is physical education/ health education. I am very excited to on board at CW.
