This is what a swimming team is about.
The Burlington Aquatic Devilrays (BAD) officially formalized their new executive Tuesday night, following a special meeting of the club on October 23, 2025, where 8 members were elected to the board. 1 additional member was appointed to the board at last night’s executive board meeting to round out the team.
The new board consists of:
- President – Karl Meissner-Roloff
- Executive Vice President – Zohair Khan
- Secretary – Karen Markowsky
- Vice President, Operations – Derek Streefkerk
- Vice President, Internal Affairs – Izabela Dombrovsky
- Vice President, Communications – Heather Drewett
- Vice President, External Affairs – Geraldine Guenot
- Treasurer – Anderson Chow
- Registrar – Aimee Hilson
- Head coach (ex-officio) – Sergei Soloukhin
Smiling faces is all we have at this point. We will add names to the faces later in the week.
This event marks a new chapter for the Burlington Aquatic Devilrays (BAD), with our newly elected board is eager to build on the club’s strong foundation and drive future growth.
BAD will continue to be a vibrant and thriving swim club. With pool time at the Ron Edwards YMCA and city facilities, their athletes are training diligently every day.
The club recently hosted their annual Fall Invitational Swim Meet on November 1st and 2nd; it drew strong participation from BAD members and visiting clubs alike. The event was a tremendous success, made possible by the enthusiasm of our swimmers and the tireless efforts of our volunteers.
Recovering from the process that limited the amount of pool time is an ongoing process. Champions know how to win.
