Nine seasons as head coach. Dozens of coaches who showed up, gave everything, and left their mark on this program. This is their record.
The Brookside Hurricanes name was established in 2008 — a new identity at a new pool, building on a program that had existed under a different name before. The early years through 2014 laid a strong foundation: consistent seasons, a growing roster, and the start of a coaching culture that would define everything that came after. These are the seasons that made the program worth inheriting.
Coach Dalton joined the staff as an assistant during these three seasons — learning the program from the ground up before taking over as head coach in 2018. The coaching pipeline and staff culture that would define the next decade were quietly taking shape.
Coach Dalton's first season leading the program. A clear vision, a committed staff, and the beginning of a coaching culture built on development, continuity, and genuine investment in people.
Nick Maranto and Erin Pechin joined the staff — beginning what would become two of the longer coaching tenures in the program's history. The foundation was getting deeper.
The team was ready. The staff was in place. The pandemic had other plans. 2020 is the one gap in the record — acknowledged, not forgotten.
Swimming came back. So did the team — with five new coaches joining in a single season. Among them: Allegra Craft, now in her sixth season on staff, and Jack Pechin, who would go on to coach for five years. The post-COVID return was one of the strongest seasons in the program's history.
Jackson Tishler, Tres Black, and Sophia Peterson joined the staff. The program's pattern of developing coaches year over year was becoming one of its defining characteristics — not an accident, but a system.
Erin Kerrigan completed her sixth season — the longest tenure of any coach outside of Coach Dalton at that point. A quiet milestone in a program built on exactly that kind of loyalty and continuity.
Four coaches who are now core members of the current staff joined in 2024 — Arden, Hannah, Harper, and Sean. The handoff from one generation to the next was well underway. The program didn't skip a beat.
The largest staff to date. Chris Ege and Mary Claire joined, rounding out a team with real depth at every level. The program that started with eight coaches in 2018 had nearly doubled in size — and the quality had only gone up.
The current staff is the largest and deepest in the program's history. Every coach on this roster carries the culture built over the past nine seasons — and will pass it on to whoever comes next.
