🐊 Meet the Coach: Will Miller! 🎬
Let’s hear it for Assistant Coach Will Miller! 🙌

Will is returning for his 4th year coaching for Pinecrest, but he’s been a part of the Piranha family for much longer. He spent 10 years swimming right here in our own lanes, grew his skills competing with the Coffman YMCA club team for 5 years, and was a 4-year Varsity swimmer at Xenia High School! 🏊‍♂️⚡️

When he’s not on the pool deck helping our swimmers crush their goals, he’s hitting the books at Ohio University! Will just graduated with a degree in Media Arts Production and Social Media (so you know he appreciates a good post! 😉🦉). Congratulations Will 🥳.

We love having Will’s energy, leadership, and deep Piranha pride on the deck every day!

🐊 Meet the Coach: Cari Higgins! 🌊
Let’s give a massive shoutout to one of the true pillars of our team—Assistant Coach Cari Higgins! 🙌

If you know the Pinecrest Piranhas, you know Coach Cari. This marks her incredible 28th year coaching for Pinecrest! 🤯 talk about dedication! Her deep roots in our local swim community also include 6 years coaching at Xenia High School, a year at Oakwood High School, and 2 years with the Beavercreek YMCA 7-8 age group.

Cari literally grew up in the water, swimming and diving for both WSU and Pinecrest. Her talent on the boards even earned her a diving scholarship to Xavier University! 🏊‍♀️✨

Pinecrest is truly a family affair for Cari. She is married to Pat, and they have 4 amazing children (who all swam as Piranhas!) and *5* beautiful grandbabies. ❤️

We are so incredibly lucky to have her experience, passion, and love for the sport on the pool deck every day.

🏊‍♂️ Meet the Coach! 🚴‍♂️
We are so excited to introduce Coach Tim Norman! With 12 years of High School coaching experience and certifications from US Masters and NFHS, Coach Tim brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our team.

He’s been in the competitive swimming world since his own high school days and still crushes it in the pool and out! Check out a few of his awesome achievements:

🥈 2nd Place in the 500 Freestyle & 🥉 3rd Place in the 1650 Freestyle at the 2022 YMCA Spring Nationals!

🏃‍♂️ USA Triathlon Nationals Qualifier (Sprint & Olympic distances).

💥 7-time Half-Ironman finisher and Ironman Louisville finisher (where he was 3rd out of the water! 🏊‍♂️💨).

When he’s not on the pool deck or training, he’s Dr. Norman—a professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Cedarville University! 🎓

Coach Tim is supported by his wonderful family: his wife, Robin, and their three daughters, Danielle, Grace, and Bethany.
