Want to keep swimming all winter? Do you want
to swim fast?
Come find out what all the excitement is about the world renowned Curl
Burke's newest site in Maryland at the state of the art facility at
Georgetown Prep.
Please come to our last Open House on Wednesday, September 8 at 6:30pm at the Georgetown Prep
pool. Please bring your suit and be ready to swim so that we can ensure
you are properly placed.
The Open House will be an excellent opportunity to meet the new Head
Coach of the Prep site: Yuri Suguiyama. Yuri joins CUBU coaches
Richard Rosenthal, Susan Williams and Matt Mongelli.
Before joining the Prep staff, Coach Yuri was the Head Coach of CUBU's
Holton-Arms Facility. Under his direction and energy, the program at
Holton blossomed. In 2007, 20 Holton athletes qualified for Junior
Olympics and seven athletes scored 354 points. At the 2010 Junior
Olympics, 50 Holton athletes qualified and 16 athletes scored 896.5
points.
This year, swimmers whom Yuri coaches had 11 times that are on the Top
100 All Time list (including 2 in the top 10). They have 17 times in
the Top 20 for this year (including four that are first in the
Country). They have broken numerous PVS records, been named PVS
Outstanding Athletes, and been High Point at the Tom Dolan Invitational
and Junior Olympics. Katie Ledecky has been coached by Coach Yuri for 2 and a half years. To read about a Reach for the Wall article about Katie, please click here: Age Only a Number for Ledecky and Conger
Coach Yuri grew up a Curl Burke Swimmer. He was, among many other
things, an Olympic Trials Qualifier, CUBU record holder, Metros record
holder, and on the all time top 100 list himself. He went on to swim at
UNC where he was an All-American.
Coaches Yuri, Richard, Susan and Matt are looking forward to seeing you
on Wednesday.
