Phil Kominski began swimming competitively the day he was born into his family. No joke, with seven brothers and sisters arriving before him, and one after, the majority of whom were swimmers, there was little choice: It was “Swim or live with the neighbors”.  

He swam for The Prince-Mont Swim League for thirteen years, setting several team and pool records.  He club swam for RMSC for twelve years as well as at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, before transferring to the University of Maryland at College Park.  Additionally, Phil has coached for both MCSL and PMSL.

Outside of swimming, Phil is a Musician and owns an Events Agency,  Freestyle Booking & Events, which focuses on placing musicians, DJS, lighting, photo booths and more for weddings, corporate events and other private functions.  Phil, and one of his bands (Lloyd Dobler Effect, now The Breakaways) has toured the world and shared the stage as an opening act for musicians such as The Goo Goo Dolls, Kansas, Jack Johnson, Eminem, Better Than Ezra, Third Eye Blind, The Strokes, Janes Addiction, The Roots and many, many others.

Phil lives in Olney, Maryland with his wife Elizabeth (English Teacher, Musician and head of the Theatre Department at Sherwood High School), his son (Tyler), his daughter (Harper) and their two dogs (Jack & Jill).
