Meet Walker 💛🖤

One of the younger athletes on the Steel City National Team, Walker is already building his own story in the pool.

A Class of 2030 swimmer, Walker has been competing since 2017 and has developed into a versatile racer—with breaststroke as his favorite stroke and plenty of big goals still ahead.

Ask Walker what makes Steel City special and his answer comes back to the people: his teammates and getting to share the sport with his brother, EJ.

Still early in his swimming journey, Walker is focused on getting faster, getting stronger and seeing just how far the sport can take him.

Meet EJ 💛🖤

Junior. Swimmer. Runner. And soon, first-time triathlete.

As a Class of 2028 athlete, EJ has started the college recruiting process, connecting with coaches and exploring where swimming and potentially triathlon could take him. Early conversations have included Barton College and VMI Swimming, with more ahead.

For now, the focus stays the same: train, race, improve and see how far he can take it.

Meet Stella 💛🖤

Stella is chasing bigger goals one race at a time.

One of her proudest accomplishments so far has been earning a Sectional cut as part of a relay and now she has another target in sight: qualifying for High School States.

But some of Stella’s favorite parts of swimming aren’t measured on the clock. It’s the friendships, racing alongside her teammates that make the work worth it.

And beyond the lanes? You might find her building LEGO sets. 🧱

Meet Mimi 💛🖤

Breaststroker. Future qualifier. World traveler.

Mimi has already reached a milestone with a Futures cut in the 100 Breast, but she has her sights set on Winter Junior Nationals.

For Mimi, Steel City is about the friends, laughter and memories made at practice that make all those hours in the pool worth it.

And when she is not swimming? Mimi has already visited an incredible 51 countries.

Meet Maddie 💛🖤

Senior. Freestyler. All-State swimmer. Futures qualifier. And officially committed to continue her swimming career at Duquesne University.

Maddie’s signature event is the 500 Free, where she has already accomplished one of her proudest goals is earning All-State honors while securing her Futures cut.

Now she’s chasing the next one: sub-5:00 in the 500.

For Maddie, Steel City is about more than times. It’s the friendships, memories and teammates she’ll carry with her long after she leaves the pool.

Exciting Coaching Staff Updates at Steel City Aquatics!

I’m excited to share some great news with our Steel City Aquatics family and the swimming community! As I settle into my role as Head Coach, I’m looking forward to building on the strong foundation already in place and continuing to grow our program. I’m thrilled to welcome two new coaches and a familiar face back to the pool deck!

Welcome Back, Marian Sossong!

I’m excited to welcome Marian back to Steel City Aquatics as an Assistant Coach! A Clarion University graduate with a degree in Education, Marian brings nearly two decades of experience teaching and coaching swimmers of all ages and abilities. Since first joining Moon Aqua Club in 2011, she has served in a variety of coaching and leadership roles. After taking time away to start her family, Marian is ready to return to the pool deck and help our swimmers build confidence, develop their skills, and achieve their goals. Her favorite motto says it all: “Be a doer!”

Welcome, Natalia Santilli!

Natalia joins our coaching staff with a strong connection to the local swimming community. A former Chartiers Valley record-setting relay swimmer who continued her career at Penn State Behrend, Natalia has been teaching swimming since age 15 and has experience coaching middle and high school athletes. She emphasizes strong fundamentals, technical development, consistency, and confidence while helping swimmers reach their goals and develop a lifelong love of the sport.

Welcome, Coach Chris Santilli!

Chris joins us as an Assistant Coach, bringing competitive swimming experience and a strong background in coaching and aquatics leadership. A former Chartiers Valley swimmer, Chris qualified for the PIAA State Championships twice before returning to coach the Colts. He was named head varsity coach in 2025 after helping lead both the boys and girls teams to section championships during the 2024–2025 season. Chris also serves as Aquatics Coordinator for Upper St. Clair Township and emphasizes discipline, teamwork, personal improvement, and a competitive mindset.

Looking Ahead

I’m excited about what lies ahead for Steel City Aquatics! Marian, Natalia, and Chris each bring valuable experience and a passion for helping swimmers succeed. Alongside our dedicated coaching staff, we’ll continue working to create an environment where every athlete can grow, challenge themselves, and reach their potential in and out of the pool.

Thank you to our swimmers and families for your continued support. I’m proud to be part of this community and can’t wait to see what we accomplish together!

Please join me in welcoming Marian, Natalia, and Chris to the Steel City Aquatics family. Go Steel City!

— Coach Brady
