Maple Manor’s Swimming & Diving team has offered fun summer training and competition to member families since 1962. Girls and boys ages 5-18 compete as one team in the Colonial Swim League in dual meets vs. six other area swim club teams. Maple Manor has been a force in this age-group summer league, with a league championship streak stretching from 1999 to 2018 and taking the title home again from 2021 – 2024. In addition to training and meets, the team has a lot of fun social activities for the kids throughout the season.
Athletes can start at a young age as part of the “pre-team” with most continuing to participate through high school and many going on in their swim & dive careers to compete in high school plus at the regional, state, collegiate, national, and international level. Maple Manor has one Olympian alumnus (Rob Cragg, diving; Montreal 1976), with several swim & dive athletes/alumni competing at the U.S. Olympic Trials (three in 2020 and two in 2024!) and representing the United States (and Maple Manor) in international competition.

Stu Kukla – Head Coach |

Hello Maple Manor Swim Team family, I would like to formally introduce myself to you after a 13 year gap in tenure in my coaching career here at the club. I coached Maple Manor from 1996-2010 as well as being head coach at UDAC from 1996-2004. I had stops as a high school coach at Plymouth Whitemarsh, Upper Moreland, Upper Dublin and at Germantown Academy. I also ran a USA Swimming program in Central Bucks (CBST) for 15 years. Now, as a full time teacher, I have time to return to Maple Manor during the summer and have fun coaching again. I look forward to seeing all of you this summer at the pool wearing green. |
I graduated Penn State in 2021 where I was a member of the swim team. I am currently a 1st grade teacher at Fort Washington Elementary. On my free time I like to travel, run and watch sports!
