Oklahoma Swimming, Inc. announced that it has chosen its first General Manager to oversee its day to day operations and to help grow the sport of youth swimming in Oklahoma.\u00a0 After an exhaustive search with many great applicants, the Board of Directors for Oklahoma Swimming selected long time swimmer, coach and swimming advocate, Bob Staab to serve in this newly created paid position.<\/p>\n
\u201cBob Staab has a long history of success in both Oklahoma Swimming and USA Swimming,\u201d stated Denis Mink, General Chair.\u00a0 \u201cAs our new General Manager, we expect him to help lead us to new levels of success for our athletes and coaches.\u00a0 Like all LSCs, we depend on volunteers.\u00a0 We believe that the dedicated focus that comes from a paid position will allow us to magnify the impact of our volunteers as we serve our athletes and grow our sport.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
For the first time in its long and proud history, Oklahoma Swimming will have a person dedicated to maintaining its presence in the Swimming Community.\u00a0 Staab will be responsible for organizing and hosting Swimming activities throughout the state that will develop new swimmers and support the athletes, coaches and officials that make the sport of swimming so great.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am excited to begin my role as General Manager for OKS,\u201d commented Staab.\u00a0 \u201cI started swimming competitively at age 13 for the Tulsa Hurricane Swim Club and have been involved in swimming at one level or another ever since.\u00a0 Whether as a coach, an administrator, serving on a board, or in my current role with United Sports Services (SwissTiming distributor in the US) I continue to learn and appreciate the sport.\u00a0 This new role provides me another opportunity to help pay back all that swimming has done for me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Staab will start his new role at the Oklahoma Swimming Board Retreat this April.\u00a0 He is expected to hit the ground running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
