Brian PeckHead CoachWe are thrilled to introduce our new head coach for the Sutter Lawn Tsunamis swim season! Brian Peck comes to us with a wealth of experience as a swimmer and a coach. Coach Brian started swimming at the age of 8 on the Sacramento Stingrays and continued as a Stingray for ten years until age 18! He has coached teams for the Stingrays, Gold River Racquet Club, The Tahoe Park Torpedoes, Del Norte and at Mira Loma High School as men’s and women’s varsity swim coach and water polo coach. Brian’s passion for swimming started within our league and he hopes to provide many of the same positive memories he has for our swimmers this year and in years to come!

Jody d'EonAssistant CoachCoach Jody d’Eon began his swimming career at the age of four and fell in love with the water immediately. Since then he has spent a good portion of his life in or around pools, rivers, lakes, and oceans. He started swimming for a small club team at the age of 6. The team was young and would usually come in third at championships. His second year on the team they won second place and everyone was ecstatic. And finally, during Jody’s third year on the team, the struggling little club with a big heart finally beat the notorious Stingrays by four points and won first place. That team was the Rollingwood Rockets, and he stayed with them until the age of 16. Jody is now excited to join another club with a big heart and take a shot at his old team. Coach Jody continued swimming and began playing water polo in High School where he was awarded the Most Valuable Swimmer and Most Valuable Player awards. Coach Jody began coaching at 17 for the Orangevale Tigersharks. He spent two years there teaching lessons and coaching before moving to Sierra College to just teach swim lessons. He is excited to be back on deck with the Tsunamis doing what he loves. Coach Jody is currently an English major at Sierra College. He is planning on transferring to Sac State next fall. |
