My name is Jordan
McDaniel. I swam for the Block House Swim Team for 5 years and I've
coached for 3. I also swam for the Vista Ridge Swim Team my
sophomore to senior year, I was 11th in state my senior year
for the 100 Breast, and I was 1st at regionals for the 100 Breast
with a time of 1:01.77, 4th for the 200 Freestyle with a time
of 1:51.52. Breast stroke is without a doubt my favorite stroke so
I have learned a lot about it like the fact that different body
types should swim it differently, and timing is everything. My
freshman year of college i swam and had what I thought was the best
meet I've ever been a part of when we won our Conference meet and
became a Division
2 Conference champion. That was until just last year
when the Tidal Waves won our Divisionals meet. That was a
much more rewarding feeling to see all the kids come together and
work hard throughout the season to come out with the big "W".
I really enjoy teaching what I know to the kids and helping them to
become better swimmers as well as build character and
confidence. I'm am currently studying psychology and will be
at Texas Sate fall semester.
My name is Michael
Rourke. I swam on the Block House Creek Swim Team since it
started in 2001, and I've swam 4 years of Vista Ridge High School
Varsity Swimming; I was named captain my senior year. I went
to State my sophomore year, anchoring the 200 Medley Relay, and was
named All State my sophomore and senior years. I'm mostly a
freestyle/butterfly swimmer, with times of 22.06 in the 50 free,
49.13 in the 100 free, and 55.72 in the 100 fly. I will be
attending Texas State University in the fall, and I will be
swimming for the Hays Swim Club in Kyle. This is my first
year coaching, and I love working with kids to try to help them
excel in a sport they are passionate about. I've taught
lessons to kids before, and I'm excited to see what this season has
in store for me, coaching the team I've been with for countless
years instead of swimming for them.
