Cheryl Rountree

I have been involved in competitive swimming on and off since becoming age group swimmer with the Amateur Athletic Association. I began swimming while living in Panama and continued when my family moved to Georgia.

I swam with the AAA while in high school, because at the time there were no high school swim teams. I competed butterfly and back stroke. I completed for 3 years in a Masters League Swim Team while living in Oregon, then moved back to Georgia in 2006.

While visiting Okinawa Japan I had the honor of swimming a one mile swim with the Green Berets.

I have been coaching the Rountree Recreation swim team for 6 years. In that short time we have had a very impressive showing year after year at the District 5 meets for Georgia and the State swim meets. Each year I have kids that work hard and under my direction are winners!

I am certified as a USA Swim Coach and hold a level 2 certification under the American Swim Coach Association. I have been teaching swimming since 1972 and became a Red Cross certified water safety instructor in 1978. I have maintained that certification since I first was certified. I also have my NSPC Certified Pool Operator lisense, Current Emergency First Responder, and American Arthrities Association certification. I am a certified Open Water Scuba Diver (with PADI) and Boat and Sail Boat international license.
