Mathew Mossey
Hey Huma swimmers and families, Mathew Mossey has returned as a member of the Huma coaching staff and I cannot convey to you how excited I am about the upcoming season. Building on last year's successes I'm thrilled to be back on the summer circuit. Having swam with Huma for seven years before switching to winter club, I hope to instill the same fundamentals of swimming which my former Huma coaches rooted in me. And of the utmost importance, I hope to pass along how much fun swimming can be!!!
