Gabrielle Alexander Co-Head Coach
 Hi,I am Elle Alexander! I am so happy to be joining the Zelionople Area Swim Club coaching staff! I have been a swimmer of this swim club since I was eight years old, nine years ago. Zelie shaped my love for the sport of swimming. After two summers of doing the Zelie swim team, I tried out for the Seneca Valley Club team, and loved it. I began instructing swim lessons for the Seneca Valley Swim Club five years ago. As a high school junior this year, I just finished my third year of varsity swim, and am a WPIAL qualifier for the 100 fly, 100 back, 200 IM, and 200 free! I am mainly a butterflier and an IM swimmer. I am so excited to be a helping hand in shaping these young swimmers love for the sport just like Zelie shaped my love for swim!

Triston Sasala Assistant Coach

HI, I am Triston Sasala!

I started swimming when I was 10 years old. It turns out that swimming was my “thing".  My favorite place to be is in the pool, whether it be practice, meets, or instructing. I have been blessed to qualify for a variety of meets, such as, Age Group Champs, Winter Zones, Spire, and The IMX Games. I have been instructing at Seneca Valley Swim Club for about 3 years and I was able to help the Zelienople swim club as a shadow coach last year. I am super pumped to be a Junior Coach this year. One of my favorite experiences when I was instructing was when a brand new swimmer was nervous to get into the pool and by the end of the session he was willing and smiling to get into the water. I enjoy sharing my love of swimming with others and helping them reach their swim potential.
