Assistant Coach
Shanna Delany - AAAA-Comal Purple/Silver Coach

Shanna has been swimming since she was old enough to walk.  She swam competitively for a brief time at the City of Midland Swim Team where she also started teaching swimming lessons at the age of 16.  After moving to San Antonio, Shanna continued to teach swimming and eventually became an assistant coach for a summer league team.  After a few years, she took over the position as head coach and led her team to second and third place victories respectively during the Summer League Championships at the Blossom Athletic Center.  Shanna was then asked to join the North East AAAA coaching staff where she worked alongside Coach Tracey for one year.  At that point she began her career as a teacher.  Flash forward thirty-one years and she is back doing what she loves! Shanna is thrilled to have the opportunity to work again with Tracey as an assistant coach for the Pieper AAAA Team. She looks forward to working with the swimmers to help them grow. She believes the keys to a successful swimmer are building endurance, improving stroke techniques and most importantly, instilling confidence.  When Shanna is not coaching, she is visiting her daughter in Austin, playing with her two cats or growing beautiful butterfly gardens!
