Athlete Letter
October 6, 2014
Rockfish Swimmers, Thank you for joining Rockfish this swim season! We would like to welcome you to the
20142015 swim season as the Athlete Representatives both on and off the pool deck. We are here to represent our team at all Maryland and USA swimming functions, as well as at the
Maryland House of Delegates meeting. However, we feel our most important role is to provide leadership for all of our fellow swimmers. The Rockfish team started in 2012 and has grown significantly, and we have many new members this year. As the Athlete Representatives, we will be getting to know each of you.
First, we would like to introduce ourselves; My name is Eric MacQuilliam, and I am the senior Athlete Rep for this year. I started swimming in the pool at my house when I was 2, and when I moved to Maryland I swam on the Elks for summer league. I am now a coach for that same team. I love swimming, and I hope to make swimming as enjoyable for the rest of the team as it is for me! I have been swimming with the Rockfish since it started in 2012. Most of you already know me, and I hope to get to know the whole team better! I play piano and violin when I’m not swimming, and I take a class at CSM. I am homeschooled and am a sophomore in high school. Some of you might see me at the aquatic center before practice, because I lifeguard there as well. My name is Madison Spiotta, and I am the junior Athlete Rep. In 2011, two years ago, I took swim lessons on the base over the summer. In the fall I joined the clinic at CSM and I was originally in the beginner group. That winter I went to my first swim meet and immediately fell in love with the sport. I was then moved up to the Intermediate in 2012, when Rockfish was formed. I have been a yearround swimmer ever since. I am currently a Freshman at
Chopticon High School and I am also the freshman Class Treasurer. Other than swimming, I volunteer at the Hollywood Volunteer Rescue Squad and I also
