By Kaylie Noll, Swimming World Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

It is the end of a prosperous age for the Green Bay Phoenix.<\/p>\n

After 25 years of coaching the college team along with 10 conference championships, 10 runner-up finishes and 11 Coach of the Year awards, head coach Jim Merner will be shelving his clipboard and time sheets for good.<\/p>\n

The Horizon League will definitely feel the absence of the Green Bay coach that towered on deck, giving off the air of confidence that any successful coach and former swimmer should have while still maintaining strategy and humility.<\/p>\n

As a member of UW-Madison swim team in the early ’70s, Merner transitioned his desire to go far as an athlete in the swim world to going far as a coach in the swim world, beginning as the Lady Phoenix\u2019s head coach in 1990 and establishing the men\u2019s team in 1992.<\/p>\n

Pride In the Books<\/h3>\n

From there trailed numerous accomplishments, ranging from the memorable seven straight Women\u2019s Horizon League titles from 2005 through 2011, to incredible achievements in the classroom. The Phoenix athletics website proudly declares that the swimmers and divers have contributed to the entire Green Bay athletic program\u2019s 30-semesters-and-counting cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.<\/p>\n

The College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) recognized the swimming and diving program this year for the Lady Phoenix garnering an impressive 3.51 GPA and the men posting 3.13 in the fall 2014 semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to realize that college is there not just for athletics but for academics, and academics must be number one,” Merner said. “Taking pride on winning championships is good,\u00a0but having academic achievements and graduating is special because it\u2019s preparation for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Touching Lives<\/h3>\n

Merner\u2019s commitment is truly highlighted by the people he has affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had the honor of knowing Jim for a number of years as a swimmer and now as a coach,” assistant coach Dana DeWitt stated. “His dedication to the growth of young men and women and his ability to mentor student-athletes inspired me to pursue a career in coaching. Jim has touched the lives of numerous athletes, and this sport will truly miss his passion and drive\u201d.<\/p>\n

Merner may be intense and extremely dedicated to both academics and athletics, but that doesn\u2019t stop the Phoenix from remembering the funny moments. Some recall dancing and singing in his car during the annual winter break training trip. Others will never forget the stories that Coach Jim told about his college years before everyone would hop in the pool for warm-up.<\/p>\n

And the whole team humored their head coach at his last end-of-the-year banquet by giving him a large PVC pipe signed by everyone in the spirit of a commonly practiced, yet least favorite drill. The \u201cstick drill\u201d in which one holds a PVC pipe while swimming freestyle, is one classic Merner drill that no one will ever forget – especially when preceded by the hilariously dreaded command, \u201cGet your sticks out!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lasting Merner Lessons<\/h3>\n

In an email to the team following the meeting in which\u00a0Merner announced his retirement, titled \u201cOne Last Letter,\u201d he gives words of inspiration for the team as they look toward the future, not only in their swimming careers, but the development of their entire lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is more than just going fast or ripping a dive that creates the purpose of what you do or have done. I hope that each of you will enjoy success as your life develops. I also hope that with each and every challenge that you encounter, you will be able to handle it with the strength and determination in which you handled all of the challenges and challengers that came from being a part of our sport. Each of you has something special inside that needs to be contributed to this world. I hope that you find a way to make a difference. Give back more than you have taken and this world becomes a better place for all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In essence, Coach Merner understands that while swimming and diving may be of key importance in the moment, the lessons learned in the sport are critical to not only the present, but also the future — a future which he has set up quite nicely for the current Phoenix.<\/p>\n

It is the end of the Merner era, but another is right on the horizon, full of bright and fiery opportunities for the Phoenix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
