Julianne Strom just finished her second year at Cal Poly SLO where she is studying business. She loves swimming and swam for Del Prado as a 7-year-old until graduation. She taught swim lessons at Del Prado for three years and found this to be extremely rewarding, and is really looking forward to coaching this summer.
John Reimer (9-10) reimer_jr@sbcglobal.net
John started swimming competitively as a freshman at Terra Linda High School in San Rafael and swam all four years there. For several summers, he also swam for a local Marin County summer swim league team. After turning 18, John worked as an assistant coach for two summers for this team. Particularly memorable were some of the field trips each age group went on, such as the 8&U boys acting like monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo
and the 9-10 girls putting on a show and singing for tourists in Ghiradelli Square.
John attended CalTech, swimming (mostly butterfly and long-distance freestyle) and playing water polo for four years. After graduating, he worked for JPL, attended grad school at USC,and swam for the local Master’s swim team, competing in both pool meets and ocean swims.
John and Rosario were married in 1996 and moved back to the Bay Area in 2001 to be closer to both their families, with John taking a position with Lockheed-Martin at NASA Ames Research Center. They have two sons on the Stingrays, James (9 years old) and Steven (6 years old). Sometime in the future their third son, David (4 years old), will hopefully join the team as well.
Tom Juarez (11-12, 13-14) tgjuarez@sbcglobal.net
Tom swam for Del Prado in 1990 and 1991. He began helping coach in 1992 and was an assistant coach from 1993-1999. He was varsity swim coach at Foothill High School from 1998-2001. Tom met his wife at Del Prado and our 2 kids currently swim for the team.

Del Prado Swim Team Coordinator
Joan Strom Coordinator stromj5@comcast.net
This is Joan’s thirteenth season involved with the Del Prado Swim Team board and her seventh season as coordinator. She loves this job and the swim team. Her children have been swimming for the Stingrays since 1995. Her two youngest still swim and her oldest daughter is now the 6&u and 7-8 coach. Her husband Jay is the team announcer so this is really a family affair. When she’s not by the side of the pool cheering on the team you can catch her gardening or working at Alden Lane Nursery.
