The Patriot Masters Swim Team is open to any GMU student and to adult swimmers (18 and older). The team is geared towards fitness and competitive swimming at any level. Coaching is provided for stroke and turn analysis, competitive swimming techniques, and swimming-related out of water training. While a large emphasis is placed on training, there is also vibrant social atmosphere with after-workout hottub sessions. We swim because we enjoy it! You do not have to compete to join. |

Coach: Cheryl Ward

Cheryl helped start the Patriot Masters Swim Team in 1998 and has been involved with the team ever since. Over the years she’s directed many masters competitions, coached practices and swum on relays for the team. She still tries to get in the water a few times a week believing that swimming is the ideal sport to keep her fit for life. As an athlete, Cheryl represented her native Canada in many international competitions including the 1982 World Championships, 1982 Commonwealth Games, 1983 Pan-Pacific Championships, 1987 World University Games and 1987 Pan American Games. The highlight of her swimming career came in 1984 when she placed 5th in the 400 Free Relay at the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Cheryl graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1989 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. While at Arkansas, she was a four-time All American and school record holder in the 100 free, 200 free, 500 free, 200 IM and 400 IM. |
