Coaching Staff |
Coach Andrew is in his 6th year as the Swim Dogs Head Coach.
Coach Ryan has been coaching longer than she hasn’t. A Colorado native, she began coaching a summer club team in 1997, and immediately loved the opportunities that coaching gave her— to be able to not only teach young athletes how to be better in the water, but also to be able to teach them how to be better friends, teammates, sons & daughters, brothers & sisters, and— most importantly—human beings.
Coach Ryan coached her summer club team for 10 summers before moving on to coach the Girls’ team at Cherry Creek High School for six consecutive seasons— being able to coach both Coach McKenna and Coach Stacy!
Coach Ryan began coaching with Swim Dogs
in 2010 while she was teaching biology full-time at Cherry Creek High School, as
well as training for Paralympic Trials. Ryan met Coach
Andrew while at the
Paralympic Trials in 2012, and the rest is history!
Both Coach Andrew and Ryan
took over ownership of Swim Dogs in 2013 and wake up every
single morning feeling
blessed that we were in the right place at the right
time.
Coach Eriko has been coaching swimming since 2003 and teaching
swimming since 1995 as a teenager. With a strong focus on
technique, she has been coaching 12 & unders for most of her
career. She has coached in several different states and worked with
a diverse set of coaches having learned a great deal along the way.
Raised in both Southern California and Japan she is a graduate of
the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). She is certified as an ASCA
(American Swim Coaches Association) Level 2 coach and has also
served as an official at swim meets. Her goal is to create a
lifelong love of swimming while coaching them to be well-rounded
swimmers with good sportsmanship and capable in all four strokes.
She lives with her husband, two kids (a Lil Dog and a Swim Pup) and
two fur-babies; a dog and a cat. Coach Eriko has been with the Swim
Dogs since the fall of 2018.
Coach Stacy has been with Swim Dogs since 2016. Growing up as a swimmer and swimming for Coach Ryan at Cherry Creek High School. She loves working with kids and helping them achieve their goals inside and outside the pool.
