My name is Caleb Bubar, and I’m excited to be coaching at North Hills this year. I will be entering my Junior year at Ravenscroft School, and I have been swimming competitively for many years with New Wave (where Zach is my coach) and the Ravenscroft team. My favorite events are the 200 Free and the Mile. I’ve spent a lot of time in the pool through both training and racing, and swimming has become a big part of my life. I am looking forward to helping swimmers improve their skills and have a great season at North Hills this summer.

Chandler Daigle is a rising sophomore at Cardinal Gibbons. She is a member of New Wave swim team and was a contributor to the 7A state swimming championship at Gibbons this year. She has been a member of North Hills club since she was 2 years old, and is so excited to play a larger role as an assistant coach this summer. Her love for the sport grew during the first season she joined summer swim. She is very excited to offer swim lessons and help younger kids develop the love and passion for the sport she has. Outside of swimming, she is an avid big game hunter, likes to hang out with friends, and spend time with her family.

My name is Millan Crowder, and I have been swimming year-round since I was 6 years old. I started on the North Hills Club swim team when I was 4 and have loved the sport ever since. I am currently a rising sophomore at Cardinal Gibbons High School, where I am also a member of the swim team. My strongest strokes are freestyle and backstroke. I am a certified lifeguard and love working with kids. I’m really excited to spend this summer helping young swimmers learn, improve, and have fun in the water!
