Coaches

Our coaches have been finalized for the upcoming season. We have a few familiar faces and a big surprise. Without further adieu…

Jason Lu

Jason has been swimming since he was 8 years old. He grew up in Southern California and swam for the Pleasant Valley Swim Team. He swam all four years at Pomona College and was awarded the 2022 Pomona-Pitzer Male Student Athlete of the Year Award. Jason loves swimming because it is a sport where it is equally important to be serious and dedicated as it is to be goofy and fun! He is so excited to get to know the CCH community and make amazing memories with the swimmers. Let's get ready for some good times and good times.

Ben Ogletree

Ben has been swimming at CCH since he was eight years old and club swim since he was 9. He has swum for Victory Lane Aquatic Club and the Fairfax Foxes from the ages of 9-17 and all for four years with his high school team at Bishop O’Connell. He was captain of my high school team as a Senior and a junior coach for four years. He loves to coach swimmers so that they may improve their strokes and make the swim team the most fun it can be. He loves swimming in the NVSL mostly because this is where he met some of my best friends and made great memories, and he can’t wait to help others have the same great experiences during their time at CCH this summer.

Aaron Tingley

Aaron has been swimming since he was 6 years old. He swam on the Woodley Warriors, another NVSL team, from ages 6-18, and also swam for The Fish and George C. Marshall High School.

He loves to coach, and aims to combine his extensive swimming experience with his positive energy and enthusiasm to help lead the Sharks to a fun and successful season!

I swam for Victory Lane Aquatic Club, the Potomac Marlins from ages 7-17, and all four years with my high school team at Paul VI.
