Head Swim Coach Kirk KumbierThe Learn to Swim program will be conducted by coaches and current members of the Allegheny College Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving teams. Several members of each team have recieved all-conference recognition at the conference championship meet and have earned qualifying times for the NCAA Championships. The Allegheny College Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving program is one of the most decorated NCAA Division III programs in history. Between the Men’s and Women’s teams, they boast over 475 All-Americans and seven individual National Champions since 1974. Allegheny College was chosen as the host facility of the first-ever NCAA Division III Women’s National Championship.

The 2017-18 season marked coach Kirk Kumbier’s fifth as the Allegheny College head swimming and diving coach, while he is now in his seventh year with the program. After seeing his swimmers and divers topple numerous school records over hs tenure, Kumbier has the Gators in prime position to rise among the ranks of

the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) in the immediate future.

Under Kumbier, 2017 grad Jack Bailey solidified his place as one of the top sprinters in team history, as he concluded his four-year career by never losing a 50-yard freestyle race in the Mellon Pool, while teammate Matthew Nardozzi broke long-standing school records in the 1000 free, 1650 free, and 400 IM. In 2017-18, a number of freshmen made an impact and ensured that the future of Gator swimming is bright, as twin sisters Aimee and Anna Verardi blossomed into two of the top freestyle swimmers in the conference, while Megan Corletti was a regular winner in the breast stroke. Kumbier has presided over five records set by the women’s team, as Anna Verardi owns the school mark in the 100 back and Megan Feeney the 200 back, while in 2015 Julianne Reed set records in the 100 back and 100 butterfly. Aditionally, diver Erica Salizzoni broke a 25-year old team record in the 3-meter dive with an 11-dive score of 479.00 in a Jan. 2016 match with Case Western Reserve.

Kumbier’s teams have also thrived in the classroom, as both the men’s and women’s squads have each posted cumulative grade-point averages over 3.00 in each of the past four seasons to earn College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America Scholar All-America Team honors.

Kumbier was a standout swimmer collegiately at national power Kenyon College, helping the Lords win three NCAA Division III national championships. As a student at Kenyon, Kumbier majored in Mathematics with a focus on Abstract Algebra while also earning a minor in Studio Art. Kumbier also has a M.Ed. with an emphasis in Educational and Counseling Psychology and a focus in Positive Coaching from the University of Missouri. The unique program is a fusion of Sport and Positive Psychology.

Assistant Coach Kayla McCormickKayla McCormick joined the Allegheny coaching staff in the summer of 2016. McCormick assists head coach Kirk Kumbier in all aspects of the program, including dry land and lifting programs in addition to working with all groups while focusing on the sprinters. She also utilized

her Sport and Exercise Psychology background to by running both the team’s Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) sessions. McCormick serves as the recruiting coordinator for the Gators, helping to bring in 16 freshman to the class of 2021.

She arrived in Meadville from Minnesota State University, Mankato where she spent two years as an assistant coach for the women’s swimming and diving program. She specialized in coaching sprint, freestyle, and butterfly, and helped design dry-land conditioning workouts for the entire team. The Mavericks sent a number of swimmers to the NCAA Division II Championships over the past two seasons, and had All-Americans in 2015 and 2016, the first two since the 2010-11 campaign.

The Caledonia, Minnesota native swam collegiately at Division I University of Northern Iowa, where she was a four-year letterwinner and two-year team captain. She graduated in 2014 with a B.A. in Movement and Exercise Science with a double emphasis in Exercise Science and Sport Psychology as well as a minor in coaching. She recently received her Masters in Sport and Exercise Psychology from MSU-Mankato.
