Our Coaches
Hii!! I’m from Marietta, GA. I have been swimming competitively since I was 5 years old, and I have been a part of the Gators since I was 8. I have competed and placed top 3 in GRPA State and Age Group Short/Long Course State. I am a part of the Marietta Jets' year-round team as well as the Lassiter Swim Team and State Team (State Champs!!). My favorite races are the 100 Br and 100 Bk. I am so excited for an AMAZING season! Go Gators!!
*I offer private swim lessons starting at $28, so find me at practice and we can schedule a lesson for your swimmer*
I was born here in GA and have grown up in Arbor Bridge. I started on the swim team at age five and have been a Gator for the last 14 years. I swam with the Stingrays while in middle school, then switched to just basketball in high school.
If I’m not on the court, you’ll find me hanging out with friends, at the gym, or gaming.
Hi, my name is Jack Belawske. I’ve been swimming at Arbor Bridge since I was 6 years old. Alongside swimming, I’ve also competed in water polo and am a two-time Georgia Water Polo State Champion, winning titles in 2024 and 2025. My favorite event in swimming is the 50 freestyle. I've swam for Wheeler High School's Swim and Dive team and competed at the GHSA High School State Swim Meet in 2024 and 2026.
Hi, my name is Jackson Costner. I’m 15 years old, a year-round swimmer with the Marietta Jets, and I also swim for Lassiter High School. I started on our neighborhood swim team when I was 8, and that is where I built confidence and fell in love with the sport. My favorite stroke is freestyle, and I love racing, especially in sprint and mid-distance events. I recently swam my best time at a meet in Auburn, and it has motivated me to keep working and getting faster this season.
