Valley Brook Barracudas

Hi Barracudas!

My name is Coach Will Stiglitz. I’m so excited for another great summer in the pool. A little bit about me: I grew up in Franklin, PA swimming for our local YMCA. I continued my swimming career at Westminster College where I was a four year letter winner, all conference selection, and team conference champion. After graduating in 2013, I coached high school and club swimming in Martinsburg, West Virginia. My family and I live in the North Hills where I’ve coached with North Hills Aquatics for two years. I’m currently a middle school special education teacher.

I can’t wait to get to know the Barracudas and look forward to building a safe, fun, hardworking environment for everyone!

Hi everyone! My name is Paige Lange, and I’m excited to be one of the assistant coaches for Valley Brook this year! I have been swimming competitively for almost 9 years and am a member of Ohio State Club Swim Team. I have been teaching swim lessons for the past five years, and I also coached at Valley Brook a few years ago. I grew up swimming on the Valley Brook club team, so I’m especially excited to be back and to continue working with the team this summer!

Hello! My name is Amanda Bliss, and I am the new assistant coach for the Valley Brook Swim Club. I joined North Hills Aquatics when I was 8 years old (along with summer teams) and have been swimming ever since. While breaststroke is my best stroke, I do well with individual medleys and butterfly. I started coaching five years ago, and I’m more than excited to share my summer with this team!
