Wrapping up our coach introductions….Head Coach Ken!

Entering my 8th season with OSAC, I am charged by the make-up of our coaching crew, committed & developing swimmers of all ages; also the hard-working parents, friends and sponsors of the program.

The Y management group continues to support our growth, goals and vision of providing a top-notch community T-E-A-M. We are enhancing the health, wellness and performance goals of youth and adults alike. Our swimmers are striving and thriving at all levels.

Get ready for an exciting season. Join in our home-hosted meets. This season includes the traditional OSAC Team Challenge Invitational (Nov 20-22), along with the return of the Huronia Region Winter Championships (Feb 5-7).

Lead Coach spotlight - Coach Cheryl

Comp Bronze Lead / Comp Associate

Welcome to another swim season with the OSAC family.

In the summer of 2012 the new Julie McArthur Regional Recreation Centre in Owen Sound was opened; I came to the year-end practices of OSAC in June of that year. In the fall of 2012 I began my first season of coaching with OSAC; now it is 2026-27 season - another opportunity to support and celebrate swimming strong with OSAC!

If you swim, you love the water - no better feeling, no better place to be. If you can make it a life-long journey, even better! I have been fortunate to do just that. I still love the water, still swimming & passing my love of the water along to young developing swimmers. Swimmers of any age & stage, who just have the desire to get a hold on the water and go!

My desire is to do just that in my coaching - pass along the love, feeling and enjoyment of swimming!

Swim with passion, swim strong and you will succeed.

Lead Coach spotlight #3 - Coach Mark

Waves Lead / Devo Associate

Hello swimmers and families and welcome to another season. I am excited to be returning to the role of coach after a twenty year break. For six years (1999-2005) I had the opportunity to be the Head Coach for OSAC. Before coming to Owen Sound I was an age group coach for the Trent Swim Club and a University team coach for Trent. Many people in our community know me as Mr. Avery, the teacher. Over the last two decades I have taught grades 1-8, mostly French Immersion.

I have been involved in many sports throughout my life, including swimming, triathlon, running and rowing. My passion remains with swimming, however, and there is rarely a week where I am not in the pool 3 times. I am excited to share my knowledge of the sport with our developing athletes in the Waves group.

Terrific to welcome Mark Avery back to the deck with Big Blue!

Lead Coach spotlight #2 - Coach Kourtney

Tides Lead / Devo Associate

Kourtney first joined the OSAC team at age 8 where she swam as a competitive swimmer for 10 years before moving onto post-secondary school.

“I remember the early morning practices and the friends I made as a swimmer that became some of my closest friends”.

She found herself coaching a smaller competitive club in London, Ontario and was able to propel and support swimmers to the Provincial level.

Kourtney feels that being part of a team sport that is also very individualized is unique; allows for growth, both mentally and physically. It also teaches youngsters to excel with the support of teammates, while also being their biggest cheerleaders.

“What other sport can you push yourself until you have nothing left in a race and then turn to the side for a breath and see your entire team lined up along the side of the pool cheering you on. This is when you know it’s a team sport”

Kourtney is very excited to be part of the coaching team again this year.

Introducing our Lead Coach spotlights for the 2026-27 season!

Coach Virginia is our Splash Lead - Devo Associate:

Virginia has been involved with OSAC in a variety of roles since 2000. She has been a swimmer for as long as she can remember, starting out in Kitchener-Waterloo and later varsity swimming at Brock University.

"I was never a super-star swimmer, but love the feeling of being in the water surrounded by positive, hard working, and motivational people." She is currently a masters swimmer and competes provincially-nationally (and internationally at the Worlds).

She has been coaching, teaching and mentoring for several years and enjoys being a part of a swimmer's knowledge and progress, in and out of the water.

Virginia believes that swimming helps make good life choices, because swimmers need to organize (manage their time and belongings) themselves, and work hard if they want to succeed.

Of course our young athletes need family support all the way along!

Virginia thanks parents for choosing swimming and encouraging your child to be active!
