Coaches
Welcome to the Preserve!
My name is Joy Graziano and this will be my fifth year coaching the Piranhas and second year head coaching. I am an upcoming sophomore at the University of North Texas and I am currently on the Greenwood Tiger Sharks and UNT women's swim team. My favorite events are the 100 and 200 free and I specialize in freestyle technique and starts/turns. I am so excited to continue the momentum and excitement from last year. I can’t wait to meet all the new families and welcome back all the returning swimmers we have joining us this year! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Hi everybody! My name is Alana Maxey and I cannot wait to coach again this season! I've been a part of the Piranhas team since I was 4 years old and have made so many amazing memories each summer. I swim competitively for the Aquawolves, as well as the Cherry Creek High School varsity swim team. This summer will be my sixth year coaching for the Preserve, and it’s going to be the best yet.

Hey everyone! My name is Jin Jin Brennan and I'm honored to be an assistant coach for the Piranhas this year! I’ve been a part of this team for almost 8 years and this is my second year as a coach. I started swimming when I was little but started competitively swimming when I was 11 on Greenwood Tiger Sharks. Next year I will be a sophomore at Cherry Creek High School. My love for swimming began at a young age, and ever since then it has been a huge part of my life. Summer swim team has always been my favorite part of the summer as I can embrace the warm weather, bright sun, and longer days. Coaching on this team last year made me realize how much I love sharing my knowledge and skills with swimmers, especially those who are just starting to swim. I look forward to continuing my journey as a coach and can't wait to work with this amazing team! Go Piranhas!

Hello fellow Piranhas! My name is Gavin Goldstein and I am so excited to coach this year. I have been on the Piranhas swim team for the past three years, and summer league has inspired me to swim year round for the Greenwood Tiger Sharks as well. I hope to bring that same inspiration and enjoyment to all the Piranhas this year. Along with swimming, some of my other hobbies include reading, biking, skiing, hiking, and camping. I love immersing myself in music as I do these things. I am super competitive, and will try my hardest to help the Piranhas enjoy swimming and swim fast. Swimming has become a big part of my life since I moved to Colorado, and I really hope that I can help others find the same joy and passion in it that I do. I am super stoked for an amazing summer.
