Ryan Yuen Head Coach


Since the age of 5, swimming has always been a big part of my life; which all started with the Middlebridge Marlins.  I swam for the Marlins from age 5-18, then immediately took over the Head Coach position when I graduated from the team.  I spent 7 great years coaching the team that I grew up with, but it was time to make a change.  I attended John F. Kennedy High School, where I played varsity football, swimming, and lacrosse, and graduated with honors through the Leadership Training Institute.  I then pursued my degree in Kinesiology at Towson University, where I was also part of their Division 1 swim team.  

 
Coaching has always been a big part of my life.  Aside from coaching swimming, I have had experience in coaching soccer, basketball, lacrosse and field hockey.  I look forward in spending my summers in King Farm and hope for great, fun filled seasons with the Screemin' Geese for years to come!

Zak Braun Assistant and Pre-Team Coach

Hello King Farm Swim Team! I am so excited to be part of the coaching staff this year. This will be my second year as an assistant coach but I have been involved with swimming since I was only 5 years old. I started swimming with the Woodcliffe Wahoos where I stayed until I was 18 years old. Along with summer swimming I swam competitively for RMSC where I actually swam under Coach Ryan! Also, I was elected captain of the swim team at Northwest High School but unfortunately I wasn’t able to swim that year due to COVID. Currently I am attending Indiana University’s Kelley school of business pursuing a major in business management and a minor in economics.

One of my favorite things to do when coaching summer swim teams is lead cheers and coordinate awesome meet themes. Again, I am so excited to be a part of the King Farm Swim team and proud to call myself a Screamin’ Geese.

 

AJ Navaleza Assistant Coach
Hey King Farm Swim Team!
 
I’m so excited to be one of your assistant coaches this summer! This will be my first year at King Farm, but I have been coaching for the past two years at Plantations Piranhas, and I also swam for them since I was 7 years old. 
 
I also swam competitively on RMSC alongside Coach Zak and under Coach Ryan! I’m a rising junior currently attending the University of Maryland College Park, studying computer science. I’m a die hard Ravens fan, I love to sing and dance, and my favorite strokes are breaststroke and IM.
 
I’m really excited to join this community and I look forward watching everyone swim fast! 
 
Go Screamin’ Geese!
Kaitlyn Roh Assistant Coach
Hello! I have been with the team since moving to King Farm in the second grade and have been in love ever since. Growing up, the team has always been there for me and was the first to introduce my love for being in the water. That is why I am so excited to announce that I will be able to return the favor as an assistant coach!
 
After being introduced to competitive swimming with King Farm, I began swimming at RMSC Rockville where I continued until 2019 (when Covid just started) Although I am no longer competitively swimming, I have found a new passion as part of the dive team at the Catholic University of America where I am also pursuing a BSBA at the Busch School of Business. 
 
Although swimming has been a big part of my life, I like to spend my free time sewing, crocheting, or playing my bass! You may see me working on my projects at the side of the pool! I can't wait to coach and see everyone again!
McKenna Simcox Assistant Coach

Hi! I first joined KFST at the age of four and have been an avid and proud member every summer since. Since the moment I joined, KFST has fostered an environment full of passion, team, and sportsmanship that I am thrilled to contribute to as this years assistant junior coach!

 

From 2013 to 2021, during my months away from KFST, I was a competitive swimmer with the Hydro Sonic Tiburones. I swam with Tibu for 9 years, and in my last year, reached the highest training group. Although my swimming career came to an end, I still have a love for swim and now channel my passion into coaching! 

 

Outside of KFST, I have coached for the Rockville Montgomery Swim Club. My other hobbies include painting, working out, thrifting, and hanging out with friends. I attend the University of Michigan (go blue)!

 

I’m beyond excited for this season!! Go Geese!

Ashton Sun Junior Assistant Coach

Hi King Farm Swim Team!

I have been swimming for the Geese for more than ten years now. I remember that when I was little, I was always motivated and would look up to the older kids and coaches. This is why I’m incredibly excited to step into that role as a junior assistant coach this year!

As a Goose, I was also swimming competitively at RMSC Rockville. I will be attending and possibly swimming at Purdue University in the fall.

Outside of swim, I love playing volleyball, creating art, and exploring music.

This year will be the last year that I’m eligible to swim for King Farm so I’m looking forward to making this last season a blast. Go Geese!
