Coach Biographies
Terry Depew Head Coach, Lead 15-18 and 9-10
Coach Terry or Coach T is thrilled to be on the deck for her fourth season as head coach of the Aqua Knights. A lifelong learner of the sport, she has coached high school, age group, and summer league before stepping away from the deck and becoming a spectator to watch her two sons compete in college swimming. She returned to the deck to help rebuild the Aqua Knights swim program.
She loves to help swimmers grow into the sport whether they're cross-training, competing, learning new strokes and distances. She enjoys getting to know all her swimmers and helping them improve in and out of the pool. In Coach Terry's free time, you can spot her kayaking or stand up paddleboarding around the lake. She has been a bridal seamstress for over 30 yrs. and is an avid gardener.
Heather Roberts Head Coach, Lead 13-14

Then in 1999-2000 came back as head coach for a few seasons. Now is back for her 4th year with Coach Terry! When it’s not swim season, she teaches 4th grade at Illini Bluffs. Coach Heather is so excited to see all the returning swimmers and anxious to meet new swimmers!!
