Nottingham by the Green Gators

Hi everyone! My name is Kallie Kennedy, and I am so excited to be a new coach for the 2026 season! I have been a Gator since I was seven years old, so it means so much to me to be back on the team, now as a coach! I am a freshman at the University of Kansas, where I am studying Business Marketing and involved in my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. I swam on the varsity team at Olathe East High School for all four years, but my passion for swimming truly began with the Gators. Swimming is something that brings me so much joy and I’m so happy that I get to share that with the younger generations of Gators! I am so excited for this summer and all the fun it will bring! I can’t wait to meet everyone and for all the fast swimming ahead! Go Gators!

Hi! My name is Adelyn Garst and I am honored to be one of the coaches for the 2026 season! I swam for the Nottingham by the Green Gators for the past 12 years and have a strong passion for this team and sport. I also competed for Olathe East on the Varsity Swim Team throughout high school as well as for COOL Swim Team since I was little. I have been blessed with many wonderful coaches, and I am excited to now serve as a help for swimmers and their families in the same way. I am currently attending Kansas State University where I am majoring in Biomedical Engineering. I am also involved in sorority life as a Pi Beta Phi and volunteer for Engineering Ambassadors. The Gators hold a special place in my heart, and I am excited to get to work this summer! Get ready for some fast swimming! Go Gators!

Hi, everybody! My name is Nick Fisher, and I cannot wait to coach and connect with all of you this summer season. I’m a freshman at Johnson County Community College and will be attending KU next year to pursue psychology, as well as study child mental health. I have been swimming since I could walk and have been a Gator since I was seven years old. I consider myself a highly energetic and happy person, and I value kindness, honesty, respect, and communication above all else. If you ever have a question or concern about anything, please don’t hesitate to grab my attention. My hobbies include hanging out with friends, playing video games, and exercising. My athletic background goes all the way back to when I was four years old, starting with gymnastics. Throughout my childhood and into high school, I competed in basketball, football, baseball, and, of course, swimming. It wasn’t until my junior year that swimming became my only sport, and by the end of my senior year, I had become a state-level swimmer. For work, I manage a rock wall at Life Time Fitness and coach swimming with the Empire KC Lions Swim Club, working with the 11-14 age group. I can confidently say that coaching is a true passion of mine. My goal this season is to create a team of connected individuals, with each and every swimmer contributing something valuable to our success. With all that said, I can’t wait to see those traits and abilities shine in what will hopefully be a very fun and productive season. I can’t wait to meet everyone—let’s go win ourselves a championship! Go Gators!!

I’ve swam on the Olathe East Girls Swim team for the past 4 years and I’ve swam on COOL Swim Team since I was a kid. I’m looking forward to meeting new people and seeing some familiar faces! I can’t wait to watch everyone drop time, Go Gators!!
