Coach Al Rose started with the Sailfish in 1959 and says he never gave much thought to how long he’d be there. He says the love of his profession and his athletes is what keeps him going.

The topic then changes to some of the changes he’s seen during his time with Sailfish and how he prefers his smaller team size. Coach Rose likes the ratio of coaches to swimmers he currently has and sees no reason to change what works.

Coach Al Rose and host Jeff Commings then discuss Sailfish alum and U.S. National Team member Leah Smith, and how her success is trickling down through the ranks of the Sailfish team.

Coach Al Rose has produced one Olympic swimmer, several Olympic Trials and US Nationals finalists, a World University Games champion, Junior and Senior Nationals champions, Middle School champions, City and WPIAL champions and record setters, more than a dozen PIAA State champions. Al Rose is ASCA Level 5 coach.
