Hannah Baumgardner Head Coach

Hi Tigerfish! My name is Coach Hannah and I am very excited to be head coach of the Taylor Village Swim Team this summer. I started swimming at a CMSL summer swim team called Hammond Park Pool when I was 8 years old and swam there for 10 years. From 2018-2025, I swam year-round for the Y of the Central Maryland, qualifying for both short and long course Y Nationals. I am currently a freshman on the swim team at Millersville University, specializing in long distance freestyle and pursuing a degree in Environmental Science. I was a junior coach on my summer swim team for 2 years, a coach for the Dancel YMCA for the past 4 years, and a coach for the Lancaster YMCA this year. I can't wait to take what I have learned from my experience to help our swimmers improve their skills and develop a passion for swimming. I am looking forward to a fun summer!
