Boys' Swimming
Coach Kevin Bellotti is excited to lead the Gill St. Bernard's swim program this season. A former competitive swimmer at Mount Olive High School and the Rainey Swim Club, West Morris YMCA, he specialized in distance events with a focus on the 500m freestyle.
Kevin brings years of aquatics experience to his new role, including extensive work as a swim instructor, coaching with the Swim Fit program, and serving as Assistant Head Coach for both the Rainey Swim Club and Mount Olive High School. He holds certifications in Water Safety Instruction and Lifeguarding.
As head coach, Kevin emphasizes the importance of team collaboration. While swimming is often viewed as an individual sport, he believes that the most successful swimmers are those who embrace team spirit and push one another to improve. He looks forward to building a supportive and competitive environment where every athlete can thrive.
In addition to his coaching duties, Kevin serves as a history instructor at GSB.
