Kailee Goldberg Assistant Head Coach

Kailee is very excited to be entering her 12th year of coaching this Summer (and year three with Mohican!). She is an alumni of the University of Maryland and Walter Johnson High School. Beyond Mohican, Kailee coaches for ASA where she is a Co-Lead Coach for AG1, an Assistant Coach for AG2, and the Rising Stars and Stroke Clinic Coordinator. She has also spent the last two school years assisting an assistant coach for the Holton Arms Varsity Swim Team. She grew up swimming for the Garrett Park Ladybugs and fell in love with the sport when she was 6 years old. MCSL led her to swimming year-round with ASA and Tollefson where she also got her start in coaching and teaching swim at the age of 14. She also grew up on the stage, splitting her time between her passion for theater and her love for the pool. Off the pool deck, you can find Coach Kailee singing at Wednesday karaoke, writing plays she wants to one day direct, golfing (not well), cheering very loudly for the Caps & Commanders, and applying for law school. Feel free to reach out for private lessons.

Favorite MO Memory: Becoming the Lorax to help hype the kids up to win against Manchester Farm last summer (and then walking around Montgomery Mall, still as the Lorax), but she loves every memory with MO so that was a tough one to pick.
