We’re so excited to welcome Jamie Leopold as the new Head Coach of the Nelson Farm Gators!

Jamie brings over 10 years of coaching experience, working with swimmers of all levels—from beginner lessons to collegiate competition. Most recently, Jamie founded and led the Roosevelt High School Girls Swim & Dive team as Head Coach and has also served as Assistant Coach for the Mountain View High School Boys Swim team.

A Fort Collins native, Jamie has deep roots in our community. As a student-athlete, Jamie competed in four sports at Fort Collins High School and continued as a three-sport athlete at Gordon College. Even more special—Jamie grew up swimming in the Horsetooth Summer Swim League and spent two summers right here with the Nelson Farm Gators!

Jamie is passionate about building a positive, encouraging team environment and is thrilled to lead the Gators this season. We can’t wait for a fun, fast, and successful summer together!
