Reuben Williams
Assistant Coach
Jordan D'Angelo
Assistant Coach
Jordan has been part of the Greenwood Park swim family for most of her life, swimming on the team from 2007 to 2019. She also competed on the Washington Township High School varsity team all four years and swam year-round with GPAC for 12 seasons. After graduating high school, Jordan went on to earn her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and recently completed her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from Seton Hall University in 2025.
Jordan has been an assistant coach at Greenwood Park for five years since the summer of 2021 under Head Coach Julia and has also been the team’s designated National Anthem singer since 2019. During her coaching years, the team has achieved major milestones including B Division championship in 2022, a 4-1 record in A Division in 2024, a first-place win at Peach Bowl (the first in 19 years!), and a second-place finish at Tri-County in 2024.
Starting in August, Jordan will begin her first job as a speech-language pathologist working with children. Even with this exciting new chapter, Jordan’s heart will always be with Greenwood Park. Being a part of the Frog family for nearly two decades has shaped who she is as a swimmer, a coach, and a person. She’s endlessly grateful for the teammates, coaches, and families who have supported her along the way and who continue to make this team so special. Jordan is beyond excited for another summer at GP and can’t wait to cheer (and sing) for the Frogs again!
