Jenna Stover
Girls Head Coach
Email
This is Jenna’s 8th year with the Gators and 6th year as
the Girls Head Coach. Before returning to coach, Jenna swam for
Pennridge in the summers, Souderton in the winter (this was before
Pennridge had a winter team!), and all four years on the varsity
swim team at Pennridge High School. When she is not on the pool
deck with her Gator Gang, she enjoys reading, going to concerts
with her husband, and cheering on her New Orleans Saints!
“I cant wait to help this year’s Gators set goals and
have a lot of fun working to achieve those goals!”

season overall with PAC. Before becoming a coach in 2014 Dan was a
Pennridge Gator himself, swimming since the age of 7. He also
competed on other teams within the Suburban Aquatic League and was
a 4-year district qualifying swimmer for Pennridge High
School.
After an awesome summer season Dan is ready for some more swim fun
with the Gators this winter!
Chris Bashaar
Assistant Coach
Email
Chris has been coaching for the Pennridge Swim Team for almost 8
years, and has been involved in it since he was in 3rd grade 15
years ago. He has also swam for Souderton back when they were
at the old high school, the Hatfield summer team, and CBST.
He loves to coach with his favorite stroke being butterfly, and is
most likely the loudest (see: most obnoxious) coach on staff.
When he isn't swimming, he works for the North Penn school district
and goes to school for his MA in PreK-4 Education. His
hobbies include collecting designer socks, folding origami, bees,
and answering questions posed by swimmers and swim parents.
