Joe Head Coach Experience Joe began swimming competitively at the age of eight. It wasn’t until college; under the tutelage of Terry Laughlin (the founder of Total Immersion) that Joe was able to unlock his potential. Terry emphasized proper technique over mindless yardage. Joe finished his swimming career at West Point as the record holder in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 fly. Upon graduation from West Point, Joe served for five years in the United States Army, deploying to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Upon return home he moved to Colorado Springs where he trained with the Army’s World Class Athlete Program at Ft. Carson and Irvine, CA. Coaching philosophy As the head coach, Joe guides his coaching staff to emphasize technique at the beginning stages of swimming. He thinks it is critical to make sure kids have the fundamentals of basic body position and core body movement in all four competitive strokes. With proper technique at a young age, the kids will maintain their stroke integrity through periods of rapid growth and interest in other activities. He feels it is crucial to train all four strokes and not specialize at a young age. Joe’s desire is to unlock the untapped potential of competitive swimmers through the teaching of proper technique – utilizing the latest advances in technology and research.

Dixie Developmental Coach Dixie is a native of Salida and her coaching career began by swimming as a Cyclone from the age of 10-18. At the age of 18 she coached the Salida Cyclones seasonal team for 4 years until her college graduation in 1993. At which time, Dixie continued to love the sport of swimming but lived in Alabama, where she taught swim lessons and was employed by Samford University to teach college students the basic skills to survive in water. Dixie returned to Salida with her husband in 2001 to raise a family and in 2004 was reacquainted with the Cyclones through her son joining the team. Dixie joined the coaching team in 2012 as an assistant and was recently selected as the new Head Coach for the Cyclones. Dixie brings years of swimming knowledge and a love and passion for swimming to the Cyclones. Her philosophy is to teach good biomechanics with solid training, which includes open communication with swimmers and parents, training smarter and still having fun so each swimmer can reach his/her full potential in this sport. Dixie hopes to pass on her love of swimming to other children and help them succeed in and out of the water.
