My name is Heidi McMillan! I love coaching Woodlands! My sister, Heather Maddox, and I grew up on Scottsdale Swim Team with our mom as director. They were some of the best summers of my life filled with great memories, too much chlorine, crazy rituals and life long friendships. I have a love for County Rec Swimming and what it teaches our kids, both in and out of the water. I swam at Scottsdale until age 12 and then at Walnut Creek Aquabears until I left for College. I attended Brigham Young University where I swam for 4 years, both before and after a mission. I have been a coach for over 20 years with both rec and USS experience. I have coached at very different rec teams. Some small, some large, some very competitive and some just starting out. I started at Antioch Delta Skimmers, then went to Valley Vista, Dana Hills and most recently Discovery Bay River Otters. The most rewarding part of coaching is seeing kids gain confidence and feel good about themselves as athletes and individuals. Upon graduating college, I became a full time coach with Walnut Creek Aquabears. I enjoy coaching all age groups and feel incredibly lucky to have worked alongside and be mentored by incredible coaches and people.
Hi Woodlands! I grew up swimming at Valley Vista and Ygnacio Woods , then swam in high school, college, and now masters. I have coached at Ygnacio Woods, Northgate, Heather Farms, and Woodlands fall clinic 2024 was a blast! I have a passion for swimming and athletics and love being able to share that passion with others through coaching. I try to always make whatever I do fun for myself and those around me, but I'm also serious about instilling proper technique, working hard, and making the most of out each practice. I am excited to be joining Woodlands and the strong community WST has built. See you at the pool.
Hi Woodlands! I’m excited to be returning to coach at Woodlands this summer - I swam on WST for 15 years and have spent the last few years swimming in college and coaching for Woodlands. I’m 21 years old and in my junior year at California Baptist University, after swimming and playing basketball and water polo in high school at Northgate.
My favorite thing about rec swimming and coaching are all the social events and meets at Woodlands! I love working with all ages and I’m very excited to be back for another summer at Woodlands:)!
Hi Woodlands! I started on Woodlands as a Kermit when I was 3 years old! I am now 18 and this is my fifteenth year on Woodlands. I have been working with the Kermits program for the last few years, and I absolutely love helping introduce the swimmers to the water and the team! At Northgate I have swam, played water polo, and played basketball for all 4 years. I love WST for the community and all the fun, friendships, and memories it has brought me! I am very excited to be involved in coaching again this year and am looking forward to a great summer!

Hi Woodlands! I have been swimming since I was 4 years old, and for the past 11 years with Woodlands. I coached Kermits for the last 3 years and was honored to be a Junior Coach last season. When I am not at my own swim practice or coaching, you might find me lifeguarding or whipping up delicious treats at home. I am most looking forward to keeping the Woodlands spirit alive and cheering on all of our swimmers - I cherish our team!
