Coaches
Coach Sean swam in the Penn Jersey Swim League with the Wilson Whales for 11 years, for the Easton YMCA for 7 years, at Easton Area High School for 4 years, and at Towson University for 4 years. He has been a coach at TRA since its beginning in 2015 and a coach at Wilson for 3 years before that. He just finished his second season as our USA season coach, starting in 2021. Coach Sean taught in Baltimore, Maryland for 5 years and is currently teaching high school history at EAHS. Coach Sean can’t wait for this season to have another opportunity to coach and see how much his Tiger Sharks can improve as a team!
Coach Francesco grew up swimming in the PJSL for Easton Aquatic Club. Under Coach Black, Francesco decided to quit his first sport, wrestling, and swim full time as a USA age-group swimmer. Coach Francesco fell in love with improving over time, practicing with his friends, and traveling to big meets. Eventually, Coach Black stepped away from swimming, leading Francesco to Two Rivers Aquatics and Easton Area High School Swimming and Diving. Francesco was a District XI qualifier in the 500 Freestyle and 100 Butterfly for several years at EAHS. In the spring of 2022, Francesco was invited to return to TRA as an assistant coach, and he jumped at the opportunity. Additionally, he has coached swimming and diving at EAHS. Francesco loves watching athletes develop their technique, mental game, and real-world skills through swimming.
Coach Santino swam competitively for 9 years, beginning with Easton Aquatics and later Two Rivers Aquatics, and also swam for four years at Easton Area High School. After graduating, he transitioned into coaching and has been with Two Rivers Aquatics for the past 3 years. In addition, he has served as the pool coordinator for the Easton public pools for 5 years and currently works as a substitute teacher for the Easton Area School District. He will be graduating in 2026 with a degree in English with a concentration in Secondary Education from East Stroudsburg University. His true passion is helping swimmers feel safe and confident in the water, and building lifelong friendships.
Coach Siria has been involved in competitive swimming for several years, swimming with TRA for three years, and with Easton High School for four years. Siria is continuing her swim and academic career at Moravian University. Throughout her swim career, she has developed a strong foundation in technique, endurance, and teamwork that she wants to bring to the pool as a coach. This is her first season as an assistant coach with TRA, and Coach Siria is so excited to be able to stay active in a swim community and family as admirable as Two Rivers!
