Hello Hurricanes, my name is Ian and I will be your head coach this year. I have been a coach for 4 years now and this will be my first year as the head coach. I am currently studying engineering at Virginia Tech and play water polo for the team. I enjoy swimming, music, hiking, and rafting. I am so excited to take charge this year and win some meets. See you in the water!

My name is Kaitlyn Eklund and I am so excited for another year of swim team! I have been on the team since I was 6 years old and have coached for 5 years. I am currently a senior at Green Level High and will be attending UNC in the fall. When I am not swimming or coaching, I am hanging out with family/friends, playing beach volleyball, or lifeguarding! I am looking forward to another awesome season and can’t wait to work with all of you! Go Hurricanes!!
