Abby Hardiman Assistant Coach

Hi I'm Abby Hardiman, I'm going into my junior year at Gardner Webb University majoring in Biochem. I was an assistant coach for the Devil Rays the previous 2 years, a junior coach for 2 years before, and I've swam for 10 years. I'm excited to be coaching again!

Ann Marie Novinger Assistant Coach

Hi! I’m Ann Marie Novinger, and I am a junior at James Madison University studying Psychology with a Pre-OT minor. I swam for over 10 years and have coached two summer swim teams in the past. I’ve also been lifeguarding and swim instructing privately for 5 years now. I am so excited to have the opportunity to be an assistant coach again for a summer swim team and can't wait to meet everyone. I am looking forward to a great season! Go Devil Rays!
