Meet the 2026 Wahoo Board:

Nikki Banas | Merchandise

Nikki is our Wahoos expert. She not only swam and coached for the Wahoos, now she helps handles all things merch for our Wahoo family! From working with our vendor on designs to making sure your order actually ends up in your hands. Reach out to her with any questions about website orders or gear.

Beth Garland & Brittany Gomez  | Volunteer Coordinators

It takes a village to run a meet, and Beth and Brittany (who is new to the board in 2026!) makes sure every shift is covered and every volunteer feels supported. One coordinator handles our 5/6 and 7/8 age groups, and the other covers 9 and up. Reach out if you have questions about signing up to volunteer, need to swap a shift, or want to know what to expect when you arrive at a meet.

Tara Maguire | Community

Tara is the one behind all the fun stuff — the food trucks at home meets, the Kona Ice on team picture morning, Spirit Nights throughout the season, and everything that makes our meets feel like a neighborhood event rather than just a race. She also works to bring in sponsors who support the team. If you have a vendor recommendation, a Spirit Night idea, or want to talk sponsorships, Tara is your person.

Lindsay O'Sullivan | Productions

Lindsay is the creative force behind the team. She coordinates the End of Year party, works with coaches on swimmer awards, and makes sure everything — from meet signage to team graphics — looks great. If you're wondering about the party or see a sign at a meet and want to know who made it, that's Lindsay.

Rebecca Wang | Operations

New to the board in 2026, Rebecca is the behind the scenes wizard. She manages the SWAL schedule, keeps the website up to date, handles registration, and makes sure reminder emails land in your inbox at the right time. If you have a question about registration, meet details, or something on the website, Rebecca is the one to contact.
