HI Gators. We have hired a new head swim coach for the 2017 swim season. We are excited to annouonce that our new head coach will be Katie Baxa. Katie started swimming at the age of 4. She swam 15 years at Ridgetop Recreation Association, and has a long history with the JRAC league. Katie started her coaching career at Ridgetop in 2010, and has since coached Fall, Winter, and Summer seasons at the Midlothian YMCA for 3 years, and currently is coaching High School Varsity swimming at St. Catherine's and St. Christopher's Schools. 

See this message from Katie:

"Hello Avalon Gators! I am so excited to be serving as your Head Coach starting next summer! It seems summer 2016 has just ended, but next summer will be here (hopefully) before we know it. I'm anxiously awaiting the day when I will get to meet all of you. I've spent a few years of my life in JRAC, and Avalon was always a team that I looked forward to hosting or visiting. I'm honored to be able to be a part of of such a great team and community. Please feel free to email me ([email protected]) with any questions you may have or just to say hello! Go Gators!"

Coach Katie

Along with Katie's input, we will start the process of confirming our assistant coaches for next summer. We will announce the rest of the coaching staff once we have everyone confirmed. If you have any questions or input, please let me know.

Thanks!

Amanda
