Hey Marlins!! I’m Brycn, a Freshman at University of North Georgia. I was part of the South Forsyth High School swim team, as well as Swim Atlanta for 6 years! I love swimming all strokes, but my personal favorite is backstroke! I have been part of the Longlake marlins swim team since I was 6 years old, and this is my 5th year of coaching. Summer swim is my favorite! I love the meets, especially the home ones! My favorite thing about swimming as a Marlin is the energy that everyone brings to the practices and meets! I can't wait for the upcoming season! GO MARLINS!
Coach Tyler has been swimming for 12 years on year-round, High School, and summer teams as well as state teams. He has been a part of Longlake since 2016, and was a junior coach last season. Tyler has completed his sophomore year at Forsyth Central High School and is also a hockey/figure skating assistant coach for 3 years, and he currently plays on a travel hockey team for the Atlanta Fire Hockey Club. Tyler is excited to spend time on the frozen and still liquid water all summer and can't wait to be back coaching at Longlake this season.
Summer has arrived once more to Longlake and alongside it is none other than myself, which brings me a tremendous amount of joy to be be able to coach for yet another year, working with and teaching those who I've known now for over five years. I look forward to providing the best pre-meet Longlake cheers, some rowdy team spirit, and Kodak moments that'll raise a laugh well after the seasons end. Thank you all for having me back, and for your trust in nourishing the next generation of Marlins! :)
I have been swimming for 12 years and I don’t have a favorite stroke but my favorite event is any IM event. I am finishing my sophomore year at Denmark High School. A fun fact about me is that I love the beach and Disney! My favorite things about coaching are watching the swimmers improve throughout the season and seeing the big smiles after dropping time in an event. My favorite thing about longlake is that the meets are so much fun!
Hey y’all, I’m Eric and I’ve been swimming for four years, both year round and at long lake. My favorite and main stroke is butterfly and I am graduating Denmark High School May 2026! I enjoy summer swim but like coaching more, so feel free to reach out with questions - especially about fly!

Individual Swim Lessons
With a coaching staff of approximately 10 coaches, our Marlins group swim practice gives each kid close attention and instruction to thrive and advance in their swim skill goals. But do you have a beginning swimmer that needs some undivided one-on-one attention to feel comfortable getting in the water or putting their face in the water, or a swimmer that is just looking for additional technique work? Then have a conversation with the coaches to discuss what is needed and next steps.
Along with our coaches, Longlake is fortunate to have a highly qualified swimmer with a 'lifetime' of experience swimming and coaching at all levels of swimming as part of our Longlake Marlins family...
