2022 Tecumseh Woods Swim and Dive Team
SWIM & DIVE TEAM
Welcome to the Tecumseh Woods Swim & Dive Team! We are glad you are here and we hope to see your child in the water soon! If your child loves the excitement of the swimming pool in the summer and is between the ages of 5-18, then this is the team for them!
The goals of the TW Swim & Dive Team are to: build self-esteem and confidence in and out of the water, improve time management, demonstrate professional interactions with coaches, teammates, and competitors, exhibit good sportsmanship, promote personal goal setting, and foster new friendships.
Being on the TW Swim & Dive Team is a fun and rewarding way to spend your summer. While we encourage swimmers to attend as many practices and meets as possible, we understand summer and family schedules are busy, so just come as much as you can!

Erin Monnier (8 & under)
Coach Monnier returns for her second season of coaching at the eight and unders at Tecumseh Woods, but previously had experience coaching Mighty Mites when she was in high school. Coach Monnier's favorite thing about coaching is that she absolutely loves the sport and coaching allows her to take that passion and help swimmers reach their goals. She believes swimming is important because it's a life skill and hopes that each swimmer has fun and improves their skills this season.
Outside of swimming, Coach Monnier is married to RJ and together they have two children, Sophia (7) and William (5). They love to hang out as a family and you can find them at the TW pool a lot in the summer. Coach Monnier is also completing her eighth year at Piqua City Schools (Springcreek Elementary). She considers it to be her dream dream job, since she went to Piqua and lives in Piqua.
Coach Monnier has a strong connection to Tecumseh Woods, as she can remember joining the pool around 8 years old. Throughout the years, she was on the TW swim team, worked as a lifeguard, helped coach, and spent lots of time swimming with her family and friends. She considers this experience a moment for her to give back and to make new memories!
