Mike competed for Canada and was on the National team for 7 years.
His biggest swimming highlight came when he represented Canada at
the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. He still holds one of the oldest
provincial records in the 200 butterfly. Under his direction, many
KSC swimmers have swum at both the junior and senior National
level. Mike was Alberta's Provincial Individual Medley Coach for
several years.
In September 2012, coach Mori will begin his first season with the Killarney Swim Club as the assistant Head Coach. “I am thrilled be a part of the KSC. I look forward to helping Head Coach Mike Meldrum continue to move Killarney Swimming forward on both the Provincial and National levels.”
For the past 7 seasons Brad served as Head Coach and Director of Swimming for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns and Lethbridge Amateur Swim Club (LASC). Mori successfully rebuilt all areas of program from grassroots to international levels using a fundamental philosophy “Build great people and you will build a great athlete. Through competitive swimming, experience life."
Under Mori's tutelage, multiple LASC and Horns swimmers have moved onto Swimming Canada's Youth, Junior, and National Teams and Provincial Teams. He has coached medal performances at provincial, western, national, and international events. But, it is "Personal achievement, through diligent process and development that Mori stresses the most to the swimmers he coaches."

In her youth, Sylvia played water polo and swam for the U of S swim team as a backstroker. She took time off to have a family and career, and is now back at the pool. Sylvia has taught swimming at all levels for almost ten years and currently teaches at the Killarney pool. Sylvia say's "The thrill for me is seeing it in a child’s eyes when “they get it” - they can do something they did not think they could do". Her philosophy for coaching is “if it’s not fun – why would they bother?!” Her goal as a coach is to give them a love of swimming
