Freehold Sharks

Hi, I’m Coach Tommy and I'm excited to be back for my second year coaching the Sharks! I joined the Sharks when I was 6 and have loved the team for the past 12 years since. Although I only swam for Sharks and my high school team, I love the sport and the satisfaction after a difficult workout. My favorite race is the 50 free and I'm still trying to break 22 seconds so at any moment I might challenge you to a race. Apart from the racing though, my favorite memories with the Sharks were always the ones of everybody cheering on other people in the pool and getting excited while waiting to hear the results at meets. This year I hope to share my excitement with all the Sharks and to get us ready to swim fast!

BIRTHDAY: November 26th

FUN FACTS:  I have played 12 sports, my top 3 were soccer, track and field, and of course, swimming. I also have over 12 different types of Rubik’s cubes and could solve one in 26 seconds. And, in case it isn’t obvious, I am the strongest coach there ever was.

Hey everyone! It's Coach Aiden here! I am so excited to kick off another amazing season with the Freehold Sharks! I’ve been swimming with the Sharks for 3 years and competitively with the Jersey Shore YMCA Swim Team for 6 years. I also swim for my high school team and play competitive tennis. Outside of swimming, I have been a Taekwondo assistant instructor for the past 5 years, which has taught me leadership, patience, and how to work with younger students. I’m excited to help younger swimmers improve while having fun this summer at Sharks! I love all strokes, but my favorite stroke has to be breaststroke, and it’s definitely my strongest event! Swimming is a hard sport, but the grind and eventual satisfaction of winning is what makes it so fun for me! (and hopefully for others...) I can’t wait for an amazing season — GO SHARKS! (and let's swim fast )

BIRTHDAY: April 17

FUN FACTS: I love a good reality or comedy TV show, spending quality time with friends/family, and anything science !

Hey Sharks! I’m Coach Emma, and I can’t wait for another awesome summer season! I’ve been swimming for JSY for about 6 years and joined the Sharks when I was 13. I am also one of the captains for the Manalapan Braves swim team. My favorite event is the 100 breast, and you’ll probably catch me trying to avoid anything to do with butterfly 😅. I really love being part of such a supportive and hardworking team environment; my favorite part of any meet is cheering for my friends while they swim. Looking forward to a great season with everyone! 🦈

Hello Shark Teammates! I am super excited that I am finally able to coach you guys in both practices and meets over the summer! As some may already know, I have been swimming since I was 8 year old, and have been part of this team since 9. This team is one of the highlights of every summer ever since that young age. I've tried many sports: Baseball, Soccer, karate, all for extended times, but this has proven to be the greatest at, as the greatest achievement I have ever done in my swimming career was winning the state championships in the 11-12 200 backstroke! As you can tell, I am practically a professional backstroker. Other than my athletics, I am a very smart person, being in the Special Science & Engineering program where I am taking advanced placement classes on the level of college students. Alongside swim and S&E, I'm in the marching band! Even with all those commitments, I am still able to be a part of this team, and I am glad to be one of the coaches this year! Here's to an amazing season!

FUN FACTS: I am a vegetarian by choice and own about 8 cats. I love to hang with my friends, whether that be on the pool deck, while biking, or playing video games. Big music fanatic, but mostly from the 80s to 90s. And to cap it of, I collect can tabs for my friend to hopefully one day make "chainmail" armor out of them.

Hey Sharks!! I’m coach Julianne and I can’t wait for another fun filled Sharks season. I’ve been swimming with Sharks since I was 5 (for those that don't want to do math that's 11 years) and have loved every second of it. I also swim for JSY and the Manalapan Braves swim team. My favorite event has to be anchoring on relays⚓. The cheering, adrenaline, and team work just makes it so much fun!! I’m so excited for my first year being an Assistant coach and am prepared for a summer of laughter and swim 🦈!!!

Greetings! I am Coach Junseo, and I’m excited for the spectacular season. I’ve been swimming with the Sharks since I was 7 which led me to create interest in the sport which led to me to create many memories and even more friends. I also swim competitively for the Jersey Shore YMCA, and part of the Summer National Team. My favorite event is the 100 free, where I feel like I'm flying rather than swimming. I hope that I can create a wonderful experience for the team as reflected in my journey, where the coaches made me love the sport.
