Coaching Staff
Ana Leino Head Coach
Hello! I’m Ana and I’m so excited to be joining the Tuckahoe Tiger Sharks this year as the Head
Swim Coach. I have been a lifelong swimmer and grew up swimming for the Ridgetop Riptides,
NOVA, and the Tiger Sharks (a very, very long time ago). Swimming is so important to me and
as I grew up attending the Tuckahoe Y, this opportunity really feels like a full circle moment. I
joined the Tuckahoe team as a swim instructor and look forward to seeing past swimmers on
the swim team to hone their skills. It has been a long time since I’ve been on a swim team but
the memories and relationships forged in the water will last a lifetime. I hope to create more with
the Tiger Sharks.
Tyller Brickley Assistant Coach

My name is Tyller. I’ve been a swimmer for almost 10 years! My favorite event is the 100 freestyle. I love the color green and my favorite school subject is english! I’m super excited for all of the swim meets!

Tim Speich Assistant Coach

Head Assistant Coach.  My name is Timothy Speich. I’m 17 years old and a junior at Godwin High School where I swim on the varsity swim team. In the summer time I swim with the Canterbury Crocs. I enjoy playing soccer and pickleball as well as going to the gym. This will be my second year coaching the Tiger Sharks. Last year was great and I’m looking forward to coaching this year’s swimmers.

Marina Leino Assistant Coach

Hi I'm Mina, I'm so excited to be returning for the Fall season! I grew up being in and around the water. I swam for the Ridgetop Riptides, NOVA, and a season at the Tuckahoe YMCA. I've also been a lifeguard and have spent several years as a swim instructor. My favorite thing about coaching is being a part of watching swimmers grow and improve their strokes. Being on a swim team taught me a lot of skills and I enjoy sharing that with all of our swimmers. I can't wait to have a fun season with everyone!
