For the past decade, Sheridyn Cook has been an assistant coach to Patrick Thurman in the Corner Canyon High swimming program and they shared duties last season. This year, Cook takes over as head coach and Thurman will assist her.

“I learned so much from Pat in all the years I was his assistant and appreciate the knowledge he shared with me,” Cook said. “I am grateful for all the coaches I have worked with over the years and I love learning from my assistants this year – Pat, Victoria Blow and Tara Lee.”

Cook began swimming at the age of 6 and swam for Granger High School in the sprint freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke and Individual Medley events. She began coaching summer teams and younger children in Utah County before moving to Draper and getting connected to the Chargers program.

Cook focuses on swimming techniques in her coaching, “recognizing that it will impact swimmers more than anything else,” while also giving significant time to her role as a mentor. 

“That is my primary focus for my job. I want to make sure that all the swimmers feel cared about, known and given the opportunity to feel included and wanted,” she said. “We have swimmers of all abilities and experiences. I want them all to feel as if they bring something to the team and they will find success if they give the effort and work into it.”

So far this season, the Corner Canyon girls team has defeated Mountain Ridge 158 to 128, Taylorsville 212 to 54, Maeser Prep 212 to 8 and Pleasant Grove 161 to 116 while the boys lost to the Sentinels 185 to 101, beat the Warriors 158 to 85, beat the Lions 158 to 28 and lost to the Vikings 182 to 93.

“We are up and running with a great team led by some awesome seniors,” Cook said. “We added several freshman that also brought some much needed strength to the team. We look forward to a great season this year.”

The Chargers are also scheduled to compete against Riverton Dec. 3, Bingham Dec. 11, Copper Hills Dec. 12, Herriman Jan. 11, 2025, Alta Jan. 14, 2025, and American Fork and Kearns Jan. 15, 2025.
