Hi, my name is Philip Caslavka and I am a Government teacher at Franklin Middle School and am beginning my second season as the Head Coach of the Swim and Dive program.  I am a recent graduate of Radford University (May 2010) where I received my degree in Education with a concentration in Secondary Social Studies.  Currently, I am the Head Coach of the Armfield Farm Stingrays and an Age Group Coach with the Herndon Commanders.  I have been an assistant coach for several other Swim and Dive programs in the past, including the Oakton Cougars and Chantilly Chargers Varsity Swim Team.  I have been swimming since I was 4 years old and was captain of the Chantilly Swim Team when I was in high school as well as a regional qualifier.  My specialty is the 100 Butterfly, but I consider myself to be a well-rounded developmental coach.  I also served in the Marine Corps where I learned many different techniques to motivate and lead other individuals and groups of people.  My experiences as a Marine, a teacher, and a coach of many different sports have completely molded my coaching style which would be self-described as:  disciplined, technique-driven, and fun-oriented.  I truly believe that the best way to help a swimmer improve is to work with them individually, help them to develop goals that they want to achieve, and then doing whatever I can to help them achieve those goals through the use of motivation and camaraderie, technical drills, competitive strategies, and conditioning exercises.  I am looking forward to the rest of this season and hopefully many more to come.  If you would like to know more about me, visit my website at https://sites.google.com/site/philipcaslavka/
