Swimming – Girls

Sioux City Metro Girls Swimming 

About the Program

West High School is proud to partner with the Metro Swim Team to offer girls swimming. The Metro team consists of swimmers from eight different high schools around Siouxland, including Sioux City North, West, and East, Heelan, Sergeant Bluff-Luton, Hinton, Sioux Center, and Boyden Hull. The Iowa High School Girls Athletic Union sanctions our high school sports for girls. Through involvement in athletics, students learn valuable life skills, including teamwork, leadership, and commitment.    

Meet the Coach 

Head Coach: Molly Hegarty 

Molly grew up in Sioux City, Iowa. She swam for The Mariners Swim Club then attended North High School where she was on the Metro Swim Team. Molly went on to swim for Morningside College. Her favorite events were the 200 free, 500 free, 1,000 free, and the 1650 free. 

When Molly isn’t poolside, she can be found cheering on her son at his many sporting events, spending time with her husband John, or playing with her nieces and nephews.  

Molly’s greatest joy is seeing athletes overcome obstacles, make amazing choices, take on responsibility, and learn life lessons. She loves witnessing athletes become better individuals because of the self-discipline they learn through swimming. 

Meet the Team 

Student-athletes give their all, both in and out of the pool. Countless hours go into strength, conditioning, and practice to build strong athletes that are prepared to compete. Likewise, our athletes fulfill academic requirements in order to participate in sports.
