Hi Everyone! My name is Alex and I am the head coach for the dive team. I did swimming and diving for nine years with the Gators. I'm just finishing my first year at UW-La Crosse, and am a member of their swim & dive team. When I'm not in the pool, I like playing basketball and hiking. I'm excited to get back in the water, and look forward to having a fun season with the dive team! Go Gators!

Hi!  My name is RJ.  People call me RJ (sounds like "urge").  I am super excited to be back to coach Gators!  I graduated from Middleton High School in 2012 and from the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities in 2016 with a degree in civil engineering.  Outside of the pool I enjoy playing/watching sports, playing the piano, reading, and watching movies.

Hey Gators, get those caps and goggles out because it's time for All-City Season!! I am beyond excited to return to the pool for another fantastic summer with my Gator family. I am currently studying Elementary/Middle School Education with a minor in Nutrition at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I swam with the Gators for 9 years, and the Middleton HS Cardinals for 4 years before continuing my swim career on UWL Swim and Dive Team for 2.5 years, and now I'm coaching! Outside of school and the pool I have a big passion for lifting/working out (I am getting ready to get my personal training/group fitness certifications), listening to country music, and traveling. I hope you all are as excited as I am as we get ready to start the 2023 season, and I can't wait to see all your smiling faces on deck. As always, Go Gators!

Hi Gators! My name is Molly Haag and I am excited to start my third year as a Gator coach. I was a gator swimmer for 12 years, and I am so sad to not be a gator swimmer this year, but am very excited to be able to devote more time to coaching!! I just finished my freshman year at Kenyon college, which I absolutely loved! I am a math major and on the swim team at Kenyon. I mostly swim distance freestyle, but would like to become a sprinter. I will also be a barista at Barriques this summer, so I'm sure I will see some of you there too. I can't wait to have another amazing summer. Let’s go Gators!

Hi Gators! My name is Tait Haag and this will be my second year as a Gator coach! I started swimming for the Gators when I was 6 years old and fell in love with the sport then. I loved coming to practice everyday and I have wanted to be a coach ever since then. I just completed my junior year of high school where I swam for the Middleton High School Swim team. I also swim for the Verona Area Swim Team. My favorite stroke is freestyle and I love relays, but the only person I would be willing to race in breaststroke is my sister, Molly. Outside of swimming I enjoy running track for the Middleton High School Track team, walking my dogs, reading and playing water polo. I am looking forward to an awesome season! Go Gators!!
