AQUATICS
Welcome back Coach ANITA and Coach Ian
Anita O’Quinn has enjoyed coaching at ANCC for more than 20 years and has been involved in diving since 1969. She competed in the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL), and continued her diving career at the University of Virginia, where she earned a degree in Education. Anita began coaching after graduating from high school, and continued coaching summer teams and high school teams throughout her 35 year teaching career. She enjoys working with kids of all ages, and loves to see the divers improve year after year. An Army Navy lifer, Ian will begin his 26th year at Army Navy this summer; starting in 1992 as a swimmer, then assistant coach, and now as head coach. He graduated from Gonzaga College HS (‘04) and Washington & Lee University (‘08) playing rugby throughout. When he is not on deck at ANCC, Ian is coaching for The Capitol Sea Devils, where he is Head Coach & Director of Coaching or for Thomas Jefferson HSST boys and girls teams. In his ‘free time’, he teaches Latin and Math at Saint Agnes School in Arlington. He is looking forward to continuing the great traditions of Army Navy swimming while creating some new ones along the way. Beth Bedell grew up swimming year-round in Southern California and swam competitively throughout college. Teaching, coaching, and running swim programs around the world as part of an Army family, Beth settled in Northern Virginia in 2003. Here in Northern Virginia, Beth has coached a Northern Virginia Swim League division 1 swim team, ran coaching and training clinics for area teams, taught private lessons, coached for a number of club teams and started her own swim program, Swim with Beth. Though Beth has broad experience coaching children of every age, she has principally focused her coaching on developing young swimmers’ strokes to ensure they are efficient and effective. Beth is excited to join the ANCC staff and bring her experience to the Junior Swim Team. Her goal is to bring quality instruction and the joy of aquatics to our young swimmers.
