Coach Jodie Graunke
Hi, I am honored to be the newest member of the MFSC coaching staff. I’ll be working primarily with the Silver Novice group. Outside the pool, I enjoy spending my time with my husband, Scott, my swimming daughter, Dana, and our dog Jessi. I committed thirteen years of my life to competitive swimming in Madison and Green Bay. Some highlights of my swimming career were: a Big Eight Conference record in the 100 breaststroke, 4 years of qualifying for the division 1 state championship and a swimming scholarship to the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. Currently, I work at MacArthur Elementary School in Germantown as the Technology Technician. I have enjoyed spending the last 10 years working with children and the world of ever changing technology. I believe my passion for competitive swimming and love of working with children will provide a positive impact on the club.
