| Welcome back everyone!
My name is Leigh Anne
and I am the Head Dive
Coach. I have been
coaching at Kent Gardens
for approximately 10 years
now. My diving career
started here at Kent
Gardens at the age of 7,
and I continued to dive
each summer until I was
18 years old. I dove
competitively with both
Northern Virginia Dive
Club and Patriots Dive
Club until a back injury
inhibited my ability to
continue. I did not want to
quit my involvement in the
diving community, so
when I arrived at the
University of South
Carolina I started to coach
with the South Carolina
National Team. My
experiences in SC were
priceless and molded me
into the coach I am today.
After graduating with a
double BS in Chemistry
and Biology I returned
back to Northern Virginia
for my family after the loss
of my father. Once again I
coached my wonderful
team for the summer. In
the winter I coached the
Madeira dive team.
At Madeira I met the
newest member of our
coaching the newest
member of our coaching
family Ali Davis. Ali will be
joining us when she gets
back from her senior class
trip to China.
Coaching at KGRC is a
unique experience unlike
anywhere else. The
supportive family
atmosphere is oriented
always warm and
welcoming. My parents
could not be more
supportive, and are
always asking how they
can help. Having coached at Kent Gardens for so
many years, I have had
the opportunity to see the
amazing camaraderie
between the swim and
dive teams - a very
unusual atmosphere.
These kids are truly an
amazing group of
individuals and I would not
trade my experiences for
anything! I love coaching
at KGRC - Get ready for
another great summer!
