Jeremiah is a 13 year resident of Holly Glen, a certified Marine Corps Instructor of Water Survival (MCIWS), and a former competitive swimmer throughout his childhood on the New Jersey shore. After leaving the military, Jeremiah began his 20+ year career as a plumber, so it's safe to say that he has an affinity for all things water-related.
Jeremiah and his wife have two daughters who chose athletic pursuits outside of the pool, so he has spent the last four years with the Hammerheads teaching young and upcoming swimmers safety and confidence in the water.
Jeremiah believes in the potential of every kid to learn and excel, and focuses his efforts on educating basic swim techniques and encouraging the kids to always do their best.
Taylor Ralph is returning to coach the Holly Glen Hammerheads after a great summer on deck last year. A two-time swim and dive state champion, Taylor brings a strong competitive background and a love for the sport to the team. Though originally a diver, Taylor is trained in swimming and understands what it takes to help athletes grow in skill, confidence, and performance.
Outside of swimming, Taylor is a competitive cheerleader, and enjoys working with Special Olympics. Taylor loves working with younger swimmers and creating a fun, supportive environment. She is excited to be coaching again this summer and can't wait to help the Hammerheads have another awesome season!
Lillian Horvat attends Holly Springs High School. She was born in Dayton, Ohio, and moved to Holly Glen when she was six years old. She has been on the team since it began and has been assisting with practice for the last five years. Lillian is excited to join as a coach this year because she enjoys working with children and teaching them to be safe in the water. She strives to always be on time for practice and looks forward to getting to know the new Hammerheads.
