Hi! My name is Coach Jay! My swimming journey began right here at the Santa Barbara Family YMCA where I took swim lessons and later began swimming for our very own Gators Swim Team.
Soon after, I joined Santa Barbara Swim Club where I spent five years competing in high level swim meets such as Junior Olympics. In high school, I swam for the Dos Pueblos Varsity Swim Team which won two consecutive Channel League Championships. After being a competitive swimmer, I began working as a Swim Instructor, Lifeguard, and Head Swim Team Coach for the Gators; the same team I competed on as a kid!
As a coach, I incorporate all the skill and life lessons I've learned in the pool such as hard work, teamwork, and having fun into to my practices to help young swimmers discover their love for the sport. My favorite part about coaching is watching our swimmers set goals and celebrating their accomplishments, big or small!
