Swim Coach No Longer Suspended

USA Swimming reinstated the coaching privileges of Savannah Reas.  USA Swimming suspended PEAQ Coach Savannah Reis from the association on July 24.  The organization is the national governing body for swimming in the United States.  USA Swimming's website states that it suspended Mrs. Reis due allegations of misconduct. 


The coach's name no longer appears under interim or permanent suspensions.  Mrs. Reis and her husband, Fernando, formed Performance Elite Aquatics in 2014.

I wonder where all of the previous commentors who posted negative comments about Savannah are now?????

There were some horrible rumors floating around about her and this situation. I've been sick for a couple of days thinking about what they must have gone through. Then you read about the situation with the Pearl Cross Country team. Are we at a point now in society where if you get mad at someone, you have to make up a sensational rumor to ruin their life? There is no recourse for the accused because more often than not, the accusers are trash that have nothing to sue for.

Probably same place you hide, Eastover hood rat, when you prematurely post something caustic on here that turns out to be false.

No picture included on this post? Seems wrong to include her pic when accused but not when absolved and reinstated.

Good for her. She and her husband are good people. I hope whoever made the accusation didn't hide behind the anonymity. School age sports parents are downright hateful.

The article isn’t 100% accurate. Her coaching privileges have restrictions, but I’m sure those “Good People” failed to mention that.

@Salty Sally @11:59, no press release says anything about that. Why don't you inform us? Your child most likely swims like a brick and you probably had a part in this.

"Seems wrong to include her pic when accused but not when absolved and reinstated."

I saw nothing stating 'absolved' and assumptions don't count.

5:00PM So you believe USA Swimming is endangering children by reinstating her? There’s no in between. This coach was either cleared or the swim folks are disregarding the team’s safety. Same for the public school where she teaches.

So 5:00 pm you are sticking with the premise that accused = guilty. I hope your jury isn’t so inclined some day.

I'm the poster at 5:00, above. I said nothing about guilt, accusation, team safety or endangering children. All I said was there is no mention of 'absolved' in the report. Look up the word absolved. If there are restrictions placed on her, she is NOT absolved. If there are restrictions, what are they? Get over your defensive, immature selves and jump in the lake.

@2:26 p.m. You say that a family has violated USA Swimming rules multiple times, but no one has gone after them. Why not others? If the family is that intimidating, bullying and harassment are violations in and of themselves. But the bigger question is: "Why not you?" If you have witnessed these violations or have evidence of them, you are duty bound under the USA Swimming/MS Swimming rules to report this. There is an anonymous method for doing this at the USA Swimming level. I'll help.

The only way the sport is protected is when folks step up and speak out.

The anonymous accusations have always been totally ridiculous on their face. It's an attempt to smear a good lady and family. And some in the Madison have latched on to the troubled kids' accusation because it's useful in having her removed from her teaching position despite 10 years of strong service.

8:51 - Surely you don't think the swimming organization and the school system acted on nothing more than an anonymous accusation. You seem to see a giant conspiracy involving a rumor, an organization that oversees swimming and one of the largest and best school systems in the state. Have you taken your meds?

And I thought there was a lot of bitching, anger and pissyness among under-12 soccer parents! At least THEY can raise up the lift door of the SUV and drink a disguised beer and chill.

If the woman has suffered harm by the school system (due to no action of her own) let her find a good lawyer and make ten times what a teacher makes.

@9:16 That's not exactly a correct summary of my post. I am not saying there is a conspiracy between the organizations. I am saying that some people in one organization (or individuals within it) may be using something that occurred related to another independent organization (the swim organization) for their own purposes.

An anonymous kid made an accusation to the swimming organization. I am not sure anyone "officially" knows who or exactly what the allegation is. But, from reading on here, the swim community and some around Madison presume to know who it is. The national swim organization has to take any sort of allegation seriously - particularly in the days after the US gymnastic scandal and some of the other things that have happened at Ohio State wrestling as an example. Baseless accusations have to be investigated to be determined to be baseless, and, unfortunately, the accused is drug thru the mud while the investigation is ongoing.

Ms. Reis has been a teacher at Madison Station for a period of about 10 years, mostly under a very long term, well respected principal. That principal recently retired. At the end of last school year, a situation occurred at an after hours school event that exploded in to a huge deal with the new administration, which was in its first or second year at the school. It's been rumored the administration wanted to end Ms. Reis' tenure because of the situation.

Fast forward to the beginning of the next school year...... Right before school starts, the swim suspension is made public on this blog. And, the blog appears to have details from someone that knows the employment status of Ms. Reis. That would seem to be someone inside the school district trying to influence Ms. Reis' employment status. That may not be the case, but it sure appeared from the timing of posts on this blog that information that only could have been known by the school district or Reis was being made public.

I just think it will be interesting to see as these accusations are shown to be without merit what happens with her employment status.

Anonymous said...

Let justice roll over the cowards who set out to destroy the Reis's reputations! Surely there is an anonymous, procrastinating lawyer out there who would like to brief us on the available causes of action and recommend ways to expose the identity of the despicable jackasses who initiated this tortious calumny.

Some anonymous knowledgeable person, please let us all know what the hell is going on. Who are the accusers?

I have never heard of another sport that has a web page specifically to list people who have been suspended. This sounds like a sport that must have lots of child predators or individuals with major abuse problems.

Please help me understand. What are the benefits of competitive swimming? Especially if the risks of misconduct or abuse are so high?

Why would you put your children in danger of sexual predators?

I have never really thought about this before, but I will never view Olympic swimming the same. Sounds to me like anyone involved may be getting off on kids in bathing suits. That is a terrible thing to have to think about. Even type out.

Think we will just go to the reservoir and take a risk of getting a staph infection.

Is Mrs. Reis still employed by the school? If so, is she still a teacher or on leave with pay?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
