Welcome to the summer of ‘23!
My name is Rudy Galicia, and I am the Aquatics Director at Greenwich Country Club. We are almost in full swing, and I would like to take the opportunity to introduce the new recruits to our coaching roster and returning coaches. Our Head Swim Coach, Adam King, leads our Division 4 Gator Swim team. The two returning swim coaches are assisting Adam, Kerri Carroll & Emmy Sigtryggsson.
For our division 1 Gator Water Polo, we have coaches from last year, our Head Water Polo Coach, Dawson Clark, and his assistant, Emma Phillips. Shannon Rust is returning as our Head Diving Coach, and Declan Bannerton as the Assistant Diving Coach.
We’re looking forward to their success and igniting our young members' passion for our aquatics program!
