Coaches
Coach Logan Sensenig has been swimming since he was 10 years old. He swam with the Adamstown Gators for 6 years, the Reading YMCA swim club for 8 years, and the Cocalico High School team for 4 years. He now swims at Mount St. Mary’s University, where he is also pursuing a BS in Sport Management. Throughout his career, he has swam almost everything, from the 50 free to the 400 IM and everything in between, but his favorite event is the 100 butterfly.
Logan has been a certified lifeguard for 3 years this summer, and will spend his free time managing the Denver and East Cocalico pools, as well as exercising and staying in shape for his college swimming career. Mountville will be his first chance to be a head coach, and he is ready to embrace the opportunity.
Coach Logan brings experience as a competitor at every level, from summer swim, club swim, high school and collegiate swimming. He is no stranger to early mornings and cold pools, and he is ready to motivate everybody to work hard and be the best that they can be!
Coach Connor Rugenstein, or “Coco” as some of his swimmers call him, probably has chlorine in his DNA. He wears many hats as a head manager, lifeguard, swim instructor, coach, and more. He is a certified USA Swimming coach, ASCA Coach, and has been teaching swim lessons with SwimAmerica and helping coach teams since 2010. Coach Connor was working in the engineering field for several years, but realized his true passion has always been in aquatics and teaching, so he is pursuing a career that balances both.
Coach Connor swam for the Mountville Swim Team from 9 to 18, and carried an attitude of constant improvement through his High School career. He will openly admit that he was not the fastest swimmer for most of his career, but through a love for the sport, an extreme focus on technique, and hard work (even when he couldn’t keep up in practice), he found success and went to States for the 100 breaststroke. He hopes his story will encourage all swimmers to seek improvement every day to reach their full swimming potential, and his coaching style reflects the very morals that got him through his career; encouraging passion, focusing on technique, and rewarding hard work.
Coach Peyton started swimming at just 6 years old and swam competitively for the Mountville Swim Team each summer through her senior year of high school. Over the past two years, she has also served as a junior coach for the team, where she discovered her passion for mentoring and encouraging young swimmers. Peyton loves working with children and is currently attending West Chester University and majoring in Early Education with the hopes of becoming an elementary school teacher one day.
Peyton has been a Swim America instructor since her freshman year of high school and enjoys helping swimmers build confidence while improving their technique and skills in the water. In addition to coaching and teaching, she also lifeguards at the Mountville Pool. She loves the welcoming environment and strong sense of community at the pool, where she has built lifelong friendships through swimming. Some of her closest friends today are people she first met as a young swimmer on the Mountville swim team.
Peyton is excited to continue giving back to the pool that played such an important role in her life and hopes to create the same positive and fun experience for future swimmers.
