Kyle
Kyle Naumann Head Coach

I’ve spent over 20 years on the pool deck, coaching swimmers of all ages and levels across high school teams, club programs, and summer leagues. My love for swimming started long before I became a coach, growing up in Utah where summer league meets, early mornings, and team camaraderie created some of my favorite memories. Those experiences shaped the way I approach coaching today.

Since 2018, I’ve been proud to coach with the Gators, where I’ve had the chance to work closely with athletes as they develop both in and out of the water. What I enjoy most is helping swimmers see what they’re capable of. There’s something special about watching a swimmer hit a goal they once thought was out of reach, whether that’s dropping time, mastering a new skill like diving, or simply gaining confidence.

For me, coaching has always been about more than just technique and results. It’s about creating an environment where kids feel supported, challenged, and excited to grow. Swimming has given me so much over the years, and I’m grateful to pass that on to the next generation of Gators!

Assistant Coaches

There are numerous Assistant Coaches who support Coach Kyle and the Greenbrook Gators throughout the season.  They're in the pool each practice, lining kids up at each meet, and at the blocks for each race ensuring our swimmers are ready to go!  We couldn't be successful without them!
