I'm Jadyn and I look forward to another great summer with the Waves! A little bit about me...I first got into swimming when I joined the Waves swim team back in 2011 when the team got its first start. I was a competitive swimmer for 11 years. Now I'm a collegiate rower at the Univerisity of Wisconsin-Madison. I'm super passionate about helping athletes improve athletically and becoming better teammates by promoting fun and good sportsmanship. I'm looking forward to having another awesome summer with the Waves!

Kate is a long-time friend of the Goodman Pool and Waves. She has taught lessons for over a decade and has been the Goodman Head Dive Coach for many years. She dove for Monona Swim & Dive Club for 8 years. Teaching kids is her passion. She loves helping kids and showing them that they can do things they didn't believe they could do. For her, there's no greater feeling then when a kid gains confidence. Kate enjoys spending time with her son and family. They enjoy being outside, going swimming, riding bikes, and going on adventures.

Ben Connor
Swim Coach

My name is Ben and this is my first year coaching the Goodman Waves. I’ve been a competitive swimmer for over 10 years and I’ve swam for the Goodman for nearly just as long. I swim club during the winter as well as swimming for my high school team. I recently graduated from East High School, and I’m planning on going to Madison college to pursue a degree In general mathematics. I’m super excited to help coach this year, as I have been on the team for a while now, and it’s nice to be able to help the team that’s helped me along the way. My goal as a coach is to help swimmer improve, feel comfortable with who they are, and most importantly, to make the season as fun as possible. I hope everyone is able to enjoy the community just as much as I do, and is able to improve on and enjoy swimming. 

Ellie Kohlhepp
Swim Coach

Hi, I’m Ellie! I swam with the Waves for seven years before becoming a coach. Although I began competitive swimming in middle school, I have been swimming since a very young age. I have always loved being in the water and outdoors. I decided to be a coach because I love working with kids and I want to give the swimmers the same amazing Waves’ experience my coaches gave to me. I study at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities where I am majoring in genetics and minoring in neuroscience. I have been involved in cheer, dance and track. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hammocking outside, and dancing to Taylor Swift. I can’t wait for another great summer with the Waves!!

Lily Wong
Swim Coach

Hi, I’m Lily! Before becoming a Waves coach, I swam competively for 10 years at Goodman, Badger Aquatics Club (BAC) and West High School. I value my experience as a Waves swimmer, and love giving back to the team and the kids. Now I attend and swim for Carleton College. I’m super excited to be back and hang out with all the kids and look forward to an awesome summer! In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing Ultimate frisbee, hanging out with friends, and making pottery and stained glass.
