Head Coach Christa

Aloha Shark Families!

My name is Coach Christa, and I am so excited to coach at Holly Park this year!

A little about me—I was a Shark! I grew up swimming for Holly Park, starting at the age of 6. I swam on the team until I could no longer compete, and naturally, I transitioned into coaching. I swam for Cherry Creek in high school and also swam year-round with the Aqua Wolves. However, most of my swimming experience has been with Holly Park!

My favorite stroke is Butterfly, and my favorite events are the 200 IM and the 100 Backstroke. Fun fact: the 50 Freestyle is my worst event—and my favorite workout is the Coaches 10.

This is my 12th year coaching, and I LOVE THIS TEAM! Coaching these swimmers has been my favorite job in the whole world. It’s amazing to see how swimmers blossom over the years and how much the families become part of my family. It has truly been an incredible journey, and I hope your families get to experience the same!

Goals for this year:
#1 HAVE FUN!
#2 Help your swimmer become the best version of themselves as a swimmer.
#3 Swim our little fins off!

We put in hard work throughout the season—and we have a lot of fun doing it!

GO SHARKS!!

Assistant Coach Camden

Hi Sharks!

My name is Coach Camden, and I’m so excited to be back for my third season coaching with Holly Park!

I began swimming with the Sharks in 6th grade and instantly fell in love with both the sport and this incredible team. I continued swimming throughout high school at Arapahoe and swam with the Sharks every summer. I have enjoyed being in the water my whole life whether it be swimming competitively or just hanging out at the pool. My favorite stroke is freestyle, and my favorite event is the 500 free! 

Currently, I’m heading into my senior year at Colorado State University studying Environmental Engineering—go Rams!

I’m thrilled to be coaching again this season and can’t wait to work with each of you. Whether you're brand new or a returning swimmer, we’re so excited to have you on the team. I’m here to support you, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Let’s make it an amazing season!

Happy Swim Season!

Coach Camden

Howdy Sharks!

Once a shark, always a shark, right? 

I grew up swimming for Holly under Coach Christa. Some of my most cherished childhood memories and friendships stemmed from the Sharks and I am SOOO excited to spend the summer making more memories with all of you! In high school, I swam for Greeley West. Butterfly was always a favorite stroke of mine, but I am a freestyle sprinter at heart. Give me a 50-free all day! I LOVE drills and improving technique. I could seriously do it all day. 

I am so happy and proud to be back with the Holly Park Sharks and can’t wait to watch you all grow as swimmers! 

If you ever see me by the pool and have a question, want some help with something, or even just need a hug or a high five, I am ALWAYS here for you! I am here to help you in whatever way I can.

PARK SHARK POWER!

Assistant Coach Stephen

Hey Sharks!

My name is coach Stephen and I am super excited for my first year of coaching!
 
I started swimming as a shark when I was 4 years old and swam on this team for 13 years. When I was in preschool, I actually told the whole school I wanted to be a dolphin when I grew up. I also swam for Aquawolves for 3 years and swam on the Cherry Creek high school team. I just graduated from Cherry Creek High School and plan on studying mechanical engineering at CU soon! My favorite strokes are breaststroke and butterfly and I am REAL bad at any long distance freestyle events.
 
I am really excited to get to know and work with all of you while watching you grow as swimmers. If you have any questions about stroke technique, what you are supposed to be doing, or anything else, I am always happy to help no matter what!
 
LETS GO SHARKS
