SCY Coaches
Hi Stingray swimmers and families! My name is Becky and I am so excited to join the Stingray team in Fall 2026 and work with Coach Izzy as a team coordinator. I learned to swim at a YMCA in Indiana and have been swimming my whole life. I swam competitively in high school and played club water polo in college. My 3 kids have grown up participating in camps, classes, swim lessons and more at the YMCA of Middle Tennessee. And my daughter, Alison, just joined the Stingrays!!! I am a YMCA swim instructor I am the YMCA Active Older Adults Coordinator.
As a Stingray team coordinator I will share important team updates and help keep communication lines open between coaches, families, swimmers and the YMCA. Please reach out to me anytime with team questions and remember no question is too big or too small. I look forward to meeting all of you at a practice soon!
Hello Stingrays! If we haven't already met, I'm Coach Izzy! My experience in swimming started at 4 years old when I joined my local club team in California. I swam with them for 11 years and was a junior coach for 2 years before moving to Tennessee in 2019. I swam all through high school and competed at Regionals in Breaststroke. After graduating in 2022, I started working at the Y as a lifeguard and became a Stingrays Assistant Coach. I later was the Head Coach for 2 years! Now I help manage the team and our Middle Tennessee YMCA swim meets! Swimming is my passion and has been since I was a little girl. I'm so excited to see what is in store for our team and can't wait to continue encouraging and pushing our swimmers to the very best they can be!
Hi! I’m Coach Kaitlin! I’ve been coaching swimming on and off for the past decade, and swimming has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began my own swim journey at just 5 years old in a summer league and continued swimming competitively through my freshman year of college.
Today, I’m proud to be the Head Coach of the Indian Lake Swim Team as well as
the Head Coach of the JPII Knights. Coaching has given me the opportunity to
share my love of swimming with the next generation and help swimmers of all
ages build confidence, develop strong fundamentals, and challenge themselves to
become better athletes.
My goal is to create a positive and encouraging environment where swimmers can
work hard, have fun, support one another, and learn that success is about so
much more than what the clock says. Swimming is a lifelong skill, and I feel
incredibly lucky to help kids discover a sport that can teach them discipline,
perseverance, teamwork, and confidence both in and out of the pool.
I’m excited to continue growing as a coach and, most importantly, to help each
swimmer reach their own goals and enjoy the journey along the way!
Hi, I’m coach Lynk! I’ve been coaching the Stingrays since summer of 2025. This is the first team I’ve ever coached and it has been a blast. I started swimming as early as I can remember, and then competitively in 7th grade. While I stopped competitively swimming the summer of 2024, my love for the water will never stop. My favorite stroke is the breaststroke and the IM races. I will share everything I know to help the swimmers get stronger, faster, and more confident in the water!
Hi everyone! My name is Coach Reyna and I am looking forward to meeting your swimmers and beyond excited to see where swimming goes for them. I became a coach for this awesome team the spring on 2025, and I have met so many strong swimmers. I swam competitively for Station Camp HS, Nashville Aquatic Club, and Excel Aquatics. We love getting the opportunity to help the sweetest kids turn into some of the most talented athletes.
Hello! I am Coach Reagan and I have been coaching with the YMCA since summer of 2025. I’ve been swimming competitively since I was 5 with Excel Aquatics, and am continuing my swimming career at Sewanee: The University Of The South! While in high school I qualified for state and regions all four years, and placed at state in multiple relays. Being in swimming so long has taught me that every swimmer is different, whether it is mental toughness or technique. I use this experience to try and understand each swimmer to the best of my ability and find out the best way to make both their stroke and experience on the team as good as possible. I always like to keep in mind that a happy swimmer is a fast swimmer!
Hello! I'm Coach Ethan, and I’m excited to be coaching with the Stingrays! I swam competitively for several years and have been coaching with the Stingrays since the summer of 2025. I’m the former captain of the Hendersonville High School swim team and competed at the State and Regional Championships. Swimming has played a huge role in my life, and I’m excited to help younger swimmers grow their skills, confidence, and love for the sport. Let’s get ready to work hard and swim fast!
