Meet The Team

Coach Kim

General Manager | VP Head of Development

With over 7 years of Goldfish experience, Miss Kim is all about giving your family the GOLDEN experience!  She’s your go-to gal for any questions, concerns, or even just a friendly chat at the front desk.

Miss Kim loves watching our swimmers grow and succeed — it’s what makes her day shine! Her goal is to make sure every member and staff feels seen, heard, and part of the Goldfish family, building relationships filled with integrity, compassion, and trust.

Coach Jeff

Assistant General Manager | Swimologist | Certified Lifeguard Instructor

Mr. Jeff wears many hats at Goldfish — literally and figuratively! He’s our Assistant General Manager, Lifeguard Instructor, and Certified Swimologist.

As our Lifeguard Instructor, Mr. Jeff keeps safety front and center, training our team in first aid, CPR, and lifeguarding to make sure our pool stays a safe (and fun!) place for everyone.

He’s also a Certified Swimologist, trained by our corporate team to master the Goldfish curriculum. Thanks to him, our staff always will be ready to dive in and make a splash with your swimmers providing amazing lesson quality and progress!

Coach Kaylie

Assistant General Manager

New to management but definitely not new to Goldfish, Miss Kaylie brings over 4 years of customer service experience and a big heart for helping families!  She’s all about delivering WOW customer service — whether she’s on the deck or behind the desk.

Goldfish holds a special place in her heart — her own daughter started here as a total beginner and now swims competitively with Diamond State Aquatics! Miss Kaylie can’t wait to share that same amazing experience with your family.

Coach Lorelai

Swim Instructor/Front Desk

Coach Lorelai is a senior at Hodgson Vo-Tech, and she plans to attend either Del Tech or the University of Delaware to study to become an ultrasound technician! When she’s not at school or in the pool, she loves writing and expressing her creativity through words. Coach Lorelai was drawn to Goldfish because she loves working with children and enjoys helping them learn, grow, and build confidence in the water. She describes herself as caring, loving, and understanding, and we couldn’t agree more! We’re so excited to have Coach Lorelai as part of our North Wilmington team—her kind heart and positive energy make her a wonderful addition to our Goldfish family!

Coach Kal

Swim Instructor/Deck Supervisor

Mr. Kal’s passion for swimming and teaching inspired him to dive back into the water with our Goldfish Swim School Pike Creek location, where he’s spent the past year making a big splash! His dedication and leadership quickly earned him a promotion to Deck Supervisor, where he oversees the pool deck, supports our team, and helps our swimmers reach their goals.

We’re so excited to have Mr. Kal bring his fun, energetic, and driven personality to our North Wilmington team! He brings enthusiasm and commitment to everything he does—both in and out of the pool.

Coach Christopher

Swim Instructor

Coach Christopher is a student at Mount Pleasant High School who loves swimming, acting, music, and biking. He joined Goldfish because he enjoys teaching others how to swim and believes that swimming is an essential skill for everyone.

Coach Christopher brings an energetic, creative, and compassionate approach to everything he does, making lessons fun and engaging for all our swimmers. We’re thrilled to welcome Coach Christopher to our North Wilmington team!

Coach Gia

Swim Instructor/Deck Supervisor

Miss Gia is joining us from our Goldfish Swim School Pike Creek location, where she’s been part of the team for the past year!
