Head Coach:
Griffin Andrews: I’m a biology major at James Madison University with a minor in Pre-PA, and this is my third year as the Summer Lake Head Coach! I’ve been swimming competitively since I was 5 years old and have spent the last nine years with the Tsunamis. I swam with the Quest Club Team and was a member of the Cosby Varsity Swim Team all four years of high school, becoming a captain of that team my senior year. With three years of assistant coaching and two years of head coaching under my belt, I’m excited to use my skills to help all of our athletes become the best swimmers they can be. Let’s look forward to an awesome summer! GO TSUNAMIS!

I started swimming for the Tsunamis back in 2010, and it has been a staple of my summers ever since. I oversee the Ripples program that focuses on our youngest swimmers, and I love working with these kids and seeing their growth as the summer progresses. I can't wait for another great season. Go Tsunamis!
