Before joining our swim family, Jenae spent 10 years coaching youth baseball and soccer, often with her three sons by her side.

With a coaching style that’s equal parts supportive and spirited, Coach Jenae knows that growth happens both in and out of the pool. Whether she’s cheering on a new swimmer’s first lap or helping the team prepare for competition, her focus is always on encouragement, effort, and fun.

Coach Tyler began swimming competitively at just six years old with Camp Hill Sea Lions and WSY. While he later became a multi-sport athlete, swimming built the foundation for his strength, discipline, and competitive mindset. At Cedar Cliff High School, he earned 13 varsity letters across Football, Swimming, Wrestling, and Track & Field… even balancing swimming and heavyweight wrestling in the same season.

He went on to become a standout high school and collegiate football player at Penn State, later playing professionally in both the NFL and NFL Europe, where he served as a team captain and won a World Bowl Championship.

Coach Tyler began coaching to give his three children the same athletic foundation and life lessons that swimming gave him, and he’s passionate about helping young athletes grow both in and out of the pool.
