Coach Kathy has been a part of the Marlins for a long time - she swam for the Marlins when she was a kid! Now, Kathy is a high school English teacher and has been the head coach for the Marlins for three years. 

Kathy first began coaching in 2004 when she became the varsity coach for Churchland High School swim team. Under her 3 year stint as head coach, the Churchland Truckers had their most successful seasons in school history. After leaving Virginia, Kathy continued her coaching as an assistant coach in Indianapolis with the Pike Red Devils club team and as the varsity girls' head coach at Arsenal Technical High School. After a few years away from the deck, she returned as an assistant coach and then as head coach for the Marlins. Kathy has recently achieved ASCA Level 2 coaching certification.

Kathy's three kids all swim competitively - including her youngest, Morgan, who is currently in the National Group with the Marlins. Kathy is excited to continue to build the Monroeville Marlins swim team and hopes that all swimmers develop a love of the sport, a foundation of skills, and friendships that last for years.  

Marisa is a recent graduate from the University of Mount Union and has returned to the Pittsburgh area working full time for PNC Bank as a Technology Development Program Associate. Her swimming career started in 2008 on the Bouquet Barracudas in Springdale. She then swam year round for Valley Points Family YMCA and moved to the Deer Lakes Aquatics Club during her high school year. In addition to club swimming she also swam on the Springdale High School Swim Team and was a WPIAL qualifier during those years. During her 10 years of swimming experience, she also volunteered as a swim instructor working with younger kids. Marisa is excited for the start of the season and is looking forward to working with all of the kids!

Coach Glenn Raymer has been coaching swimming for over twenty-five years. He has coached swimmers at all levels from learn-to-swim to the high school level (where he is currently Head Coach at Gateway HS). Coach Glenn’s swimmers have qualified for and achieved success at the WPIAL and PIAA Championships, Age Group Zones, Speedo Sectionals and Junior Nationals. Many of those swimmers were top finishers in their various events. Coach Glenn strives to make his swimmers well rounded and versatile in all swimming events. He maintains a focus on technique as the foundation for a swimmer’s success. Having fun and striving to improve are also a large part of his coaching philosophy. Glenn also believes swimming can teach many necessary life skills that will set young athletes up for success all throughout their lives.

Coach Glenn lives in Monroeville with his wife, Carolyn, and their three children, Summer, Hunter and Gunner, all of whom are competitive swimmers.
