About Our Coaches
We may be biased, but Tallyho has the best coaches in the MCSL! We employ a model of seasoned career coaches (who also both happen to be MCPS teachers!) with a group of swimmers who grew up swimming in the MCSL or on deck at Tallyho. Each coach brings both expertise in swimming technique and a passion for fun and summer league swimming. Whether teaching strokes in pre-team or honing starts for the county all-star meet, our coaches give 100 percent to the team!
