Brittany Biggs, Head Coach

Hello Gators! My name is Brittany Biggs and I have been a competitive swimmer for 11 years. I am a 2-time individual Colorado Swimming State Champion, 4-time Relay State Champion, multiple-event Western Zone qualifier in 2000 and 2002 and a multiple-event Western Sectional qualifier. I swam my freshman and senior years in high school and my freshman year at the Division I, University of Northern Colorado. With 7 years of experience, my specialties range from private lessons with all ages to technical stroke and speed improvements. I am the youngest Colorado coach, at 16, to be USA Swimming certified and I have had the privilege to learn from former Olympians and World Record Holders to broaden my skills in my own swimming and as a coach. I have held coaching positions at two different summer league programs, two years at XSwim Swim Team and Masters program, and nearly four years with the Colorado Athletic Club Stingrays. Along with continuing my swimming career I am about if finish my undergraduate degree in Human Performance and Sport from Metro State College of Denver.

My goal is to ensure each and every swimmer is given the opportunity to reach their personal goals and improve their swimming skills. I believe that the team environment is essential for success and FUN in this sport. I strongly believe in maintaining organization and structure while having fun. Good influences and strong mentors have been part of the foundation of my own success, which I strive to provide for other swimmers I work with.

Jasmine Griffin

Hey Gators! My name is Jasmine Griffin and I am so excited to be returning to coach the 7- and 8- year old swimmers in another great season! I am seventeen and I have been a part of the Gators and the Arapahoe varsity swim team since we moved to Colorado two summers ago. I love backstroke and mid-distance freestyle. This fall, I will be attending Harvard College, where I hope to study Chemistry and Economics. While at Harvard, I also plan to play goalie for their Division I water polo team. When I’m not swimming or playing water polo, I enjoy playing the piano, singing, and spending time with my family and friends. This season we’re going to be focusing on technique, speed, and endurance, while of course having a ton of fun! I’m looking forward to an incredible swim season this summer in our brand new pool!! Go Gators!!
