Whittington Creek Swim Team - Crocodiles

Michael has been a part of Whittington Creek since he moved to the neighborhood in 2007 and has grown up with the team. His favorite strokes are breaststroke and butterfly, and even though he once used to cry and hide around the WC pool when he was 10 to avoid the event, he still enjoys a nice IM as well. Michael just completed his Master of Business Administration in Cybersecurity at University of Tennessee (way to go Michael!!!) Outside of Whittington Creek, Michael loves to work out at Rocky Top CrossFit, freelance graphic design, play various sports, enjoy good food, and loves anything to do with the Tennessee Vols.

Meghan has lived in The Creek her entire life and joined WCST at age 5!She has spent every summer since then on the pool deck and is proud to be coaching the Crocs for her 4th summer. Meghan is a rising senior at The Ohio State University where she studies graphic design and is a volunteer leader for Young Life. In her free time, she loves spending time at the lake, hanging with friends, and supporting Brusters Ice Cream regularly. She is so excited to cheer on the Crocs this summer and is available for private lessons!

The Keeners moved into Whittington Creek in the fall of 2016. 2017 was the first year for the Keener kids (Eli, Sophie and Ella) on the team and 2018 was Chad’s first year coaching. Chad started swimming the summer between 7^th and 8^th grade, which was transformative in his life, having had the nickname of “Chubs” in middle school. He continued swimming through his college years at Grove City College. Chad taught swimming through high school and college and started coaching soon after graduating college. During the school year, Chad (Dr. Keener) teaches Business courses at Pellissippi State Community College.  Chad enjoys DIY projects, boating, skiing, and being outside. He loves watching his children play soccer and compete in swimming. 

I am a triplet, yes you are reading that right, with 2 brothers, Andy and Ben Mowery. I have been swimming for a total of 12 years summer swim, and 7 years club, and used to swim for TNAQ. Over those years I have gained multiple awards; from a national cut in the 200 backstroke (Futures), to best teammate of the year award. I will be attending Wake Forest University in the fall, where I plan on studying Biology with a minor in Neuroscience. I am looking forward to share my love of swimming with WCST. Go Crocs!
