As a swimmer, Blaine was a four-time University of Wisconsin – Madison school record holder and was a team captain. While at Madison, Blaine was a finalist in the Big Ten Conference as well as at the US National Meet. In 1990, he was a two time silver medalist at the United States Olympic Festival, and went on to be ranked in the top 25 in the U.S. and top 60 in the World.
During the last 29 years Blaine has guided Waukesha South Swimming and Diving to 5 WIAA State Team Championships (2 with the boys and 3 with the girls) and 3 runner-up finishes (2 with the boys and 1 with the girls). His swimmers have recorded 59 All-American swims (38 individual and 21 relay), broken one Public School National record, broken multiple WIAA State records, numerous Conference records, and countless Waukesha South school records. Blaine has been presented with the WISCA Coach of the year honors three times and was awarded the NFHS Coach of the year award for Wisconsin in 2013.
Blaine is committed to developing the swimmers to reach their maximum potential, while doing what is best for each individual. He strongly believes in the values that swimming can instill in young people. It is important that kids today learn more than just how to swim fast in our program.
