Coach Jonny has been a Barracuda since 2002!
Coach Jonny's main goal for the Barracudas is to hop out of the pool with a smile on their face! "We all know that there is constantly room for improvement, but seeing that the kids are proud of what they just accomplished is one of the many joys of being a coach!"
From his crazy dance moves on the side of the pool, to his famous cheer that we have all learned to love, we are so thankful to have Coach Jonny! "I have watched this team mature over the years and I can truly say that the Barracudas are one of a kind!"
"Thank you all for allowing me to be involved with such an amazing group of people. This team means so much to me, and I am extremely blessed to continue to be a member of the Barracuda Family! This team has and will continue to support generations of families, teach thousands of kids the love of swimming, and create a bond in our community that we could never replace! ICKY LA BOOMBA FOREVER and GO BARRACUDAS!!"
Hi, my name is Daniel Ergle. I have been a part of the Bradshaw Barracudas going on 13 years, and I am extremely excited to be an Assistant Coach this summer. Because of summer league, I have grown a love for the sport, which I look forward to sharing with each and every one of the swimmers this summer. Some interesting facts about me: I will be a rising Senior this summer at Sequoyah High School. I have swam for Sequoyah for the past three years, earning the most improved award my first year, and being a team captain and male high point winner for the most current swim season. During this time, I have also picked up year-round swimming through Chattahoochee Gold the past two years, where I currently swim in the Senior group. Some fun facts about me is I absolutely love Skittle Practices, my favorite event is the 500 free, and I have a dying passion for any Pitch Perfect or Katy Perry song.
