Stamford Swim Coaches Reinstated

STAMFORD, CT—Longtime boys and girls swim coach Rick Lewis and assistant Kyle Cutter-Dabiri were cleared of any wrongdoing after an improperly treated swimming pool at Westhill High made swimmers ill.

Corrective measures will be taken regarding pool maintenance, a school spokeswoman told the Stamford Advocate.

Some swimmers complained about water conditions and some fell ill. The pool had no chlorine in it.

Many parents called on the school system to end the coaches' suspensions. The janitor who takes care of pool maintenance has not earned certification yet for that task. The head custodian is certified.
