I have spent every summer since I was four on the Rivercrest Riptide which is where I first discovered my love for swimming. I started swimming on a club team (NCAP) when I was eight and swam on my high school team all four years. Currently, I attend Bates College where I compete on both the Swim and Softball teams. Over the years, swimming has always played a major role in my life because of the important life lessons it has taught and continues to teach me, while also cultivating lifelong relationships. I have previously been a CIT, Junior and Senior Coach with Riptide and am looking forward to being the Head Coach this year! I am excited to continue to share my passion for swimming with all of our swimmers and to support their growth both in and out of the water!
Hi everyone! I am Coach Zach and I have been a part of the Riptide family for the past 12 years, and coaching has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am a Freshman studying finance at the University of Tennessee and I love volunteering, sports, and being outside. Over the years, I have loved helping swimmers grow in their skills, build confidence, and develop a passion for swimming. Being able to support swimmers both in and out of the pool and watch them improve each season has been an incredibly meaningful experience for me. I look forward to continuing to create a positive, encouraging environment where each swimmer feels supported and excited to grow in and out of the pool.
