Meet our Coaches
Hello! I’m a rising senior at the University of Mary Washington, where I study Political Science. I have many years of swim experience, having spent my childhood on many different swim teams. I spent my childhood summers on a summer team, and I have several years of year-round competitive experience. I also swam for one season during high school before the pandemic hit. Now that I’m older, I’ve been a swim lessons’ coach and manager for over three years now. I absolutely love working with kids, and I love fostering a passion for the sport in my students. When I’m not in class or in a pool, you can find me fishing, gardening, hanging out with my friends & family, or taking care of my pets!
Hello! My name is Katherine (Kate) Slagle and I am the Assistant Coach! I have been swimming on the Lake of the Woods Barracudas for 14 years, this season being my last as a swimmer! I also swam on my high school’s swim team where I went to regionals 4 times, states 2 times, and served as team captain during my senior year! In the fall, I plan to attend Virginia Tech to study wildlife conservation. I cannot wait to get this season started
