I am looking forward to an amazing summer swim season with the Hammerheads! My family has been very involved in GASL the last several years. I work part-time as a fitness instructor where I teach group dance fitness and strength classes. I have experience with U.S. Masters Swimming, club swimming and coaching in the Prince-Mont Swim League. Prior to raising my three boys, I taught math in the Middle and Upper School at Key School. Let’s go Hammerheads!

My name is Lillie Bleacher and I am a 16 year old rising junior at Annapolis High School. I’ve been swimming since I was 5 and I’ve been swimming for the Hillsmere Hammerheads for 11 years. I swam for Navy for 7 years before changing and swimming for ASC. I’ve swam on varsity for my high school for both my freshman and sophomore year. This will be my second year coaching for the Hillsmere Hammerheads and i’m excited to be the Head Junior Coach for the 2025 summer season. I love working with kids and i’m excited to get into the water and work with yours this season!

Hey! My name is Jacob Pagent. I’m 18 years old and committed to Stevenson University for swimming. I’ve been in the water since I was 5, starting out as a Hammerhead and spending over a decade training and competing with Annapolis Swim Club. I swam all four years for my high school team, qualifying for states every season. Outside of swimming, I’m a big fan of Regular show, love traveling, and spend a lot of time in the gym.
