A Warm Welcome from Coach Megan McLain

Hi! I’m Megan, and I am super thrilled to be joining the New Rochelle Y/Sailfish teams as your new coach. I bring over 45 years of experience in aquatics as a competitive swimmer, triathlete, and coach. My career began on my fifth birthday, and I continued swimming at Xavier University. After that, I transitioned into coaching while living in Philadelphia, where I had the opportunity to work with middle school, high school, masters, and club teams, as well as offering private lessons.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities. Whether it’s for competition, recreation, or water safety, my goal is always the same: to make swimming fun, challenging, and relaxed. I’m excited to share my passion for swimming with all of you and help each swimmer develop their skills and confidence in the water.
