Jack Bonzani - Head Coach

Hi! My name is Jack Bonzani, this will be my third year coaching for PSA. Before I started coaching I was a swim lessons teacher, lifeguard, and a PSA athlete. This year I finished my last season of swimming at the highschool level, I plan on going on to swim at the collegiate level in the coming fall. Coaching has always been a passion of mine and I look forward to getting to know all our athletes and pushing them to be the best they can. This program had a huge impact on my life and I am excited to pay that forward with the next generation of swimmers.

Saralen Campbell - Assistant Coach

 

Hello my name is Saralen Campbell! I have been swimming since I was 5, and I grew up swimming for PSA. I also swam in the PHS swim team every year of high school. In the summers, I always spend my time at the pool whether I am lap swimming or teaching. I have taught swim lessons ranging from ages 1 through 12 for two years at the aquatic center in either groups or private lessons. Swimming has always been my favorite sport and I think everyone deserves an opportunity to find out why it is so fun. I have learned a lot about grit and perseverance throughout my swim career, which I think transfers over to my life outside the pool. I am looking forward to coaching young swimmers how to believe in their abilities and find joy in the sport of swimming. 

 

 

 

Paige Pitner - Administrative Coach

Hello, my name is Paige Pitner! I am going to be a senior at Washington State University, and this year, I will be taking on the position of Administrative Coach for the Pendleton Swim Association. I was a member of PSA for over 7 years, as well as the Pendleton High School swim team for all 4 years of high school. I have been very involved with the club over time. I have helped in the cook shack for numerous events throughout the years, helped set up and take down swim meets, and even helped with the fishes program a long time ago. Now I teach swim lessons for the Aquatic Center, and have taught all ages and levels of swimmers in group and private lessons. 

I am the Administrative Coach for PSA. I will be the first point of contact for any questions about moving from lessons to the swim team, anything to do with attendance, planning snack days and social events, or any questions regarding equipment.
