Coaches and Directors
Liam is the Aquatics Director and Head Swim Coach for the Chickahominy YMCA.
Liam started swimming at the age of 5, swimming for his summer swim team in Lakeside and the Shady Grove YMCA. He has had a varied relationship with the sport in his childhood; swimming was a family requirement for all children in his family, but he found his own love for the sport in high school when he joined a year round, USA-level swim team at BAC (now Hanover Aquatics.) As a sprinter, his favoured events were the 50 Freestyle, 100 Freestyle, and 100 Backstroke.
Liam started coaching after his senior year of Highschool in 2014, before starting coaching year round with the Shady Grove YMCA the following year. He was the head coach for the Stingrays there from 2018 until 2021 when he started working Full Time as an associate Aquatics Directors. He then came to Chickahominy later that year and has been the Aquatics Director and Head Coach ever since.
