As another swim season approaches, I am looking forward to my 4th year as one of the assistant coaches at Brookside. We had a GREAT season last year! A-division will be a new challenge, and I am looking forward to working with our new and returning swimmers for another wonderful season.
A little background about myself, I grew up in Glassboro and have spent the past 23 summers at Brookside. As many of you know I swam for Brookside for seven years. I was on the Glassboro High School swim team where I swam for four years. I have also been coaching with Tony Lisa for the TNT program at Rowan University for the past five years.
I have been very busy since last summer. In September, I started my teaching career at Glassboro Intermediate School where I teach Special Education Science to 7th and 8th graders. I also continued to work with some of our swimmers and other local swimmers at TNT.
I am very excited to get the season underway and help our younger swimmers meet their goals this year.
Good luck to everyone,
Coach Shannon

Look out “A” division! Here we come! For the past 22 years, Brookside has been my second summer home. I have a long history at Brookside as a member, swimmer, lifeguard, and as a coach. I swam for the Brookside Swim Team for fourteen years and was captain my senior year. I swam in many Gloucester County “Peach Bowl” Meets and Tri-County Meets and was a relay record holder at age 12. I was also a lifeguard for Brookside for three summers and was Head Lifeguard at Wenonah Swim Club for two summers. I also swam on the USS team at GCIT (now GPAC) during the winter seasons, for seven years and swam for Pitman High School. I was a varsity member for all four years of High School and served as Team Captain my Senior Year. I graduated from Pitman High School and the Brookside Swim Team in 2006.
I recently graduated from Rowan University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I also have an Associate degree in Computer Graphic Design from Gloucester County College.
I am also the Head Swim Coach for the Boys’ and Girls’ teams at Kingsway Regional High School, and an Assistant Coach for the Greater Philadelphia Aquatic Club during the winter season.
Best of luck to all the swimmers!
Best of Luck,
Coach Rob

We at Brookside Swim Club are pleased and proud to have Paul Ponter unselfishly support, encourage and most importantly coach our children.
Paul grew up in Glassboro, NJ. He graduated from Glassboro High School and attended Glassboro State College where he received his degree in education. Growing up Paul swam at Brookside swim club from ages 8-17. He also was an accomplished swimmer for the Sea-Jay’s (now known as the Wahoo’s), the Vineland YMCA and the Gloucester County YMCA. Paul also represented Glassboro High School in the New Jersey state championship meet and, while attending Glassboro State College, swam for the team for 2 years.
Paul’s swim coaching history is quite extensive. He has coached the high school teams of West Deptford, Haddonfield, Hammonton, and Pitman. Other coaching stints include programs at Rutgers University/Camden, Rowan University and Gloucester County YMCA. Paul has also coached the summer swim teams at the clubs of Hammonton, Wedgewood, Erlton, Woodbine, and currently Brookside. In total Paul has coached swimming for 31 years.
Paul currently resides in Sewell, NJ with his wife of 29 years, Janice and two children, Michael, age 25 and Erin, age 21. Paul has been employed at Hammonton High School for 29 years as a business education teacher. When not coaching swimming, Paul enjoys playing tennis, travelling, and playing the drums.

The snow has finally melted and it is time for summer swimming!!! Besides shoveling all that snow, my winter has kept me busy, I am a Physical Education/Health teacher at Salem High School and the Head Coach for Glassboro High School’s Men’s and Women’s Swim Team. I was a competitive swimmer for 20 years, in which most were spent swimming for the Red Bank YMCA, up in Central Jersey.
I am also a product of Rowan University where I competed on the Swim Team for all of my collegiate years as well as being a Captain for two years. I have a lot of knowledge in the sport of swimming. It has been my life as well as my passion. I love coaching especially when the swimmers are having fun and reaching their goals. I am very excited to be returning to Brookside for my 11th season.
Swimcerely,
Coach Brooke
