2025 Coaching Staff
My name is Kaitlyn and I am so excited to be coaching again this year! I am a rising sophomore at UNC Chapel Hill studying Business Administration and Data Science. I was on the swim team for 12 years and this will be my 6th year coaching. When I am not swimming or coaching, I am playing beach volleyball, traveling to the beach or lake, or spending time with my family/friends. I am looking forward to a great season! Go Hurricanes!
My name is Alyssa, and I’m so excited to be your assistant coach this summer! I’ll be a senior this fall at Green Level High School. When I’m not in school, you can usually find me in the pool, I train over 14 hours a week at TAC. I’ve been swimming competitively for nearly 14 years, and being a Hurricane has been a huge part of that journey. Over the past five summers, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to coach our team full of talented swimmers, which has only made me love being part of this team even more. This season, I hope we can all grow not only as swimmers but also as supportive teammates, cheering each other on both in and out of the water. I’m pumped to kick off another summer full of swimming, teamwork, and unforgettable memories. Let’s go, Hurricanes!!
Hi, my name is Alex and I am a rising 10th grader at Enloe High School. I’ve been swimming for the Hurricanes for eight years, and am excited to help out the team. Outside of swimming, I also enjoy reading and playing viola. See you soon!
This summer will be my 5th year swimming for the Highcroft Hurricanes and my 2nd year as Junior Coach! I will be entering Green Level High School in the fall as a freshman. Besides swimming, other sports I enjoy are competitive soccer and running track. I also play the trumpet in my school band. I love hanging out with my friends, playing Lego Minecraft, and making my own fruit smoothies! I attend Green Level Baptist Church and participate in the Youth Group there. Another activity I will be involved in starting next year is the Young Men's Service League. I am excited to get to know all the swimmers this summer and look forward to another great season with the Hurricanes!
Hi, Hurricanes. My name is Canaan. I am a rising freshman at Green Level High School, and I have been swimming with the Highcroft Hurricanes for the past 8 years. I have swum year-round since I was 6 years old. This is my second year coaching HHST, and I could not be more excited for another great season. When I'm not at the pool you can find me at a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game, wakeboarding at the lake, or playing with my dog, Ozzy. This summer I hope to help everyone improve their times, form, and Hurricane spirit. Can't wait for another great summer! GO HURRICANES!
I am excited to be a junior coach for the Highcroft Hurricanes this year, because I want to have others discover the same joy that I have with swimming. As a year-round competitive swimmer at RSA, I specialize in backstroke and freestyle. I enjoy spending some of my free time volunteering at Note in the Pocket and Oak City Cares. Other than swimming and volunteering, my hobbies include gaming, hiking and kayaking.

Whether I’m playing beach volleyball, relaxing at the lake, or just hanging out with family and friends, I’m always up for some fun and excitement! I’m looking forward to a season full of growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories with all of you. Let’s make it our best one yet- Go Hurricanes!
