Hi! My name is Drake Southern. I've been swimming and playing water polo for most of my life. I've been working as a coach for 6 years now in both swim and water polo and I've been working with kids for even longer. I'm a current student at UCSC and Foothill Alumni. I'm passionate about coaching and fostering the joy of learning in myself and those around me. I'm excited to be here and I hope to see a lot of smiles this summer. 

Hi! My name is Paige Banman and I’m so excited to return as a coach this year! I swam for Del Prado for 10 years and graduated from Amador in 2023. Currently, I attend UCLA where I'm studying microbiology. Outside the pool, I enjoy hiking, reading, the beach, and trying new foods. Can't wait for a great season! 

Hi! My name is Sarah Kamigaki and I will be a senior at Amador Valley High School this fall. In my free time I enjoy going to the gym and hanging out with friends. I have loved being a Del Prado Stingray for the past 12 years and I am looking forward to making this a fantastic season! GO STINGRAYS!

Hi! My name is Katie Kirschner and this is my 4th year coaching for the Stingrays! I swam for Del Prado for 12 years, taught swim lessons for 2 years, lifeguarded for 3 years, and graduated from Amador Valley in 2023. I am now a second year nursing student at the University of Portland and absolutely love it! I’ve loved every summer I’ve coached and cannot wait for this season! Swim fast, Stingrays!

I’ve been on the team since I was four and this will be my second year coaching. I’ve always enjoyed being on the team and being around the pool community. When I’m not swimming I’m playing soccer, surfing, snowboarding or mountain biking. I can’t wait for us to have another great swim season together. 

My name is Lauren and I have been coaching the 6n unders and 7/8s for 4 years now. I graduated from Amador Valley in 2023 and am going to be a sophomore at Chico State in the fall. I am majoring in liberal studies and plan to be an elementary school teacher in the future. I love working with your kids and hope for a successful season!
