I am Lucas Kovacs and I have been involved with swimming my entire life.  As an athlete I competed with the top athletes in the area at Sectional every year in the 200 freestyle and 100 fly.  I have been coaching now for 8 years, the last 6 of which have been with the Gators.  During my time as a coach I have produced multiple state and sectional level swimmers, including a state runner up 50 freestyler.  I am focused on developing swimmers to be the best athlete and person that can be in and out of the water!  I like to keep a relaxed feel in practices but don't shy away from challenging any athlete to help them obtain the best results from their training!

Coach Abbi started swimming when she was 10 years old and swam all the way until she finished her high school career. She started out as a Greenwood Gator and swam for Greenwood Community High School all 4 years competitively.  After high school she took on a coaching position at Greenwood Gators and has been coaching since 2019.
 Coach Abbi says “For the developmental groups I want them to learn how to work hard and have fun! I work mainly on the technique of the 4 strokes. I also work with them to gain swimming knowledge. These young swimmers are just getting started and I want them to grow to love the sport of swimming.”
