Luke has been a member of the Taylor Village Tigerfish for the past ten years. After his first summer with the Tigerfish, he began swimming competitively year-round, spending two years with Greater Baltimore Swim Association (GBSA) before moving to the Retriever Aquatic Club (RAC), where he has been competing since 2014. Luke specializes in distance freestyle and breaststroke and has qualified multiple times for championship-level meets, including Straehles and the Maryland State Championships.
This is Luke’s second season of coaching for the Tigerfish, after serving as a Junior Coach during the 2019 season. He obtained his lifeguard certification this spring and will be assisting the head coaches with all age group levels while also continuing to compete in the 15-18 age group, where he is part of the team record-holding mixed 200 freestyle relay.
Luke recently graduated from Mt. Hebron High School and will be attending the University of South Carolina this fall. He is excited to be working as a coach again and is looking forward to helping the younger swimmers reach their goals in the water this summer.
