| NDAC Founding Coach Kevin Storrs (July 1957 - April 2023) Kevin Storrs, NDAC's founding Head Coach, was involved with the sport of swimming since childhood. He started assisting with swim lessons at the Dutchess County YMCA at the age of 13 and was not been far from the water or pool since. Coach Storrs’ first swim coaching job was as Head Coach of the Dutchess Devilfish at the Y in Poughkeepsie (1981-1985). From there, he moved on to the Marist Swim Club as Age Group Coach and Assistant Senior Coach (1986-1994). Through the combined efforts and vision of Coach Storrs, the dedication of a cadre of local swim parents and the cooperation of Bard College, NDAC was born in the summer of 1994. Coach Storrs was Metropolitan Swimming’s Senior Coach of the Year in 2010. As an ASCA Level 4 Coach, he constantly worked to adapt the NDAC program to the latest trends and science emerging to improve our sport. Besides Coach Storrs’ passion for competitive swimming and NDAC, he ran the Red Hook community pool in the summer and was involved with local efforts to promote the sport. Coach Storrs retired from his career as an AP Social Studies teacher in 2020. Coach Storrs is survived by his wife Deb, daughter Mackenzie and Doodle the spoiled Pujon. |
