Coaches
Coach Amy started swimming competitively year-round at the age of 6 in Indiana. After moving to Georgia, she joined Stingrays Swimming in Marietta and swam with the club until graduating from Marietta High School. At Marietta High School she broke several school records with top 10 finishes at the Cobb County Championships and GHSA State Championships. While club swimming, she taught private swim lessons, worked as a lifeguard, and was an assistant coach for a local summer league team. She continued to swim in college at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia specializing in middle and long-distance freestyle events and graduated with a degree in Exercise Science. After college, she returned to Marietta High School for a couple years as an Assistant Swim Coach. Before joining Cherokee in 2023, Amy worked in state and local government addressing public health and behavioral health needs through policy, environmental change, and education. She also has a Master of Public Administration degree from Georgia State University. Amy enjoys working with young people and is passionate about setting them up for success in and out of the pool. While not in the office or at the pool, Amy enjoys spending time with her family, being active outdoors, cooking, and traveling.
My name is Colin Donohue and I am currently the assistant head swim coach for the Cherokee Town & Country Club Stingrays. My swim coaching experience includes working for 2 seasons (summers) as the co-head coach for the Windsor Oaks swim team in East Cobb as well as 1 year coaching the Atlanta International Middle School swim team. Previously, I've worked in Healthcare technology and Cybersecurity as a data analyst performing various roles including data analytics, SQL database reporting, and Client Success initiatives. Growing up, I was a swimmer for the Stingrays Swim Club in Marietta and was a 4 year letterman and state qualifier for Sprayberry Highschool. My passions include swimming, coaching, reading, the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Falcons, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I'm excited for the upcoming season with Cherokee!
