MEET OUR NEW MASTERS SWIMMING COACH!

We'd like to welcome Roy Baldwin Phillips as the newest member of our Masters Swimming coaching staff.

Roy is a lifelong Johnson County resident, having attended Ray Marsh Elementary, Hocker Grover Jr. High, and Shawnee Mission Northwest. He is very excited to join JCPRD as a coach with the Masters Swim team. In addition to coaching, Roy works at the Johnson County Mental Health with Recovery Support Services.

As a high schooler, Roy competed in swimming (former KC Blazer), cross country and track. He later competed in cross country and track at the Kansas City Kansas Community College and University of Kansas. As a master athlete, Roy continues to compete in triathlons, road running and endurance cycling.

Roy's coaching experience began as simply answering questions, then assisting fellow club members with training plans. "Helping others achieve their goals is very satisfying." reports Roy. Recently, Roy has worked with blind athletes, with one successfully qualifying for and completing the Boston Marathon.

Roy is currently finishing certification in group fitness training with the goal of helping others to reach their potential. " Participating in athletics presents a lot of life lessons. Experience has taught me that we're all capable of achieving much more than we, at first, believe."
