Hi Barracudas! I’m Mel Henry, and this is my 16th year with the swim team. I’m so excited to be the head coach this summer! Throughout my time on the team, I’ve had the chance to learn, grow, and now I get to help others do the same. My focus as a coach is to create a positive, supportive environment where swimmers of all ages can build confidence, improve their skills, and have fun in the process. In the fall, I’ll be a junior at the University of Colorado-Boulder, studying sports journalism. I’m also an active member of the CU Boulder club track team, where I continue to develop my athletic skills and enjoy being part of a team. I’m really looking forward to this season and excited to see all our swimmers grow, achieve their goals, and have an amazing time together. GO BARRACUDAS!!!
Hi Barracudas!!! My name is Nicole Toohill and I am so excited to be the 11-12s coach this season! I previously coached the 9-10s for two years and this will be my third year as a coach. I currently attend Gonzaga University and will be a Sophomore in the fall. I am studying Criminology and Psychology. I swam in high school for Regis Jesuit and have been on the Barracudas for 14 years, and this team is always the best part of summer. This season, I am looking forward to coaching the 11-12s and helping swimmers improve on their technique and achieve their goals, as well as all of the fun and team bonding! It's going to be such a great swim season! GO BARRACUDAS!!!
I’m currently a student at CU Boulder and thrilled to be part of the coaching team this season. I’m especially excited to help swimmers grow both in and out of the pool, push their limits, and build a strong, supportive team. Let’s make this a great season!
Hello Barracudas! My name is Katie Dooley, and I will be the 8 and unders coach this 2025 season! This will be my 13th year on the Barracudas and second year as a coach for the 7-8s. I currently attend the University of Hawai’i Mānoa studying for a bachelors degree in marine biology and will be a Junior in the fall. I could not be more excited to spend my summer working with the Barracudas watching each swimmer improve their technique and confidence in the pool and grow into the Barracuda Family the same way I did. Go Barracudas!!!
