Coach Hadland bio

Coach Hadland has been a head coach for various high school swim teams for the past 20 years. She started as a diver for her first two years of high school and switched to swim her last two years of high school (under the guidance of Coach Bob Bowman for a year). Coach Hadland has never been far away from the water for over 35 years she has coached swim club, taught swim lessons, been a lifeguard, managed Town of Gilbert pools, swam in masters, and is a lifeguard trainer. She has been a head swim coach for both boys and girls teams in Wisconsin, Nevada, and the last 16 years in Arizona for the Gilbert school district. Coach Hadland has brought athletes to swim at state 18 of her 20 years coaching and has many number 1 state swimmers. In 2016, she was named AIA Boys Head Coach of the Year.

Watching athletes grow in the sport of swimming and hit their goals is one of her favorite things. When Coach Hadland is not coaching or teaching she spends time with her husband and three kids. She also loves to mountain bike, fly her plane, backpack, hike, run, wakesurf, boat, and go for any outdoor adventures. She is excited to start her new adventures with the Perry Pumas swim and dive team!
