Meadow was lucky enough to have him as their Head Coach for two years in 2007 and 2008.

Specializing in 10 & unders, Beth coached all age groups (even masters) and all workouts by the time of her departure in spring of 2001. After a journey as an educator, getting married, and having a son, Beth felt compelled to return to her Sleepy Hollow roots and, in 2015 she returned along with her 3 year old LeoMax to begin his Legend career.

Kyle Berry

Senior Assistant Coach

Kyle was a Rec swimmer from age 5. He moved from the Pinole Seals to Sleepy Hollow back in 1995 to continue swimming under Coach Matt, finishing his swimming career as a Legend from ages 13 to 18. He helped coach for a few seasons and also spent a couple of years as Pool Manager/Head Lifeguard when his swimming career ended. He graduatedfrom UCSB in 2005 with a B.A. in Art Studio, then navigated through diverse career waters, from video game testing to telecommunications, until finding his niche in healthcare IT for the past 15 years. While working full time, Kyle also took the role of Head Swim Coach for the Pinole Seals swim team from 2013-2022. 


Family is Kyle's anchor, with his wife Jacqueline, and their two children, 7-year-old Marco and 5-year-old Melia, bringing boundless joy to his life. Following a brief hiatus from coaching to embrace the role of a swim team parent, Kyle's passion for coaching reignited. Eager to share the "Sleepy Hollow Way" with his children, he returned to the pool deck, ready to impart his wisdom and passion for the sport. 


Beyond the pool, Kyle's interests span the spectrum of sports, from coaching basketball and soccer to indulging in spirited discussions about them. In his rare moments of leisure, you'll find him on the basketball court or golf course, savoring the thrill of competition and camaraderie. Kyle's journey is one defined by a deep-rooted love for swimming, a steadfast commitment to family, and an unbridled passion for sportsmanship in all its forms.

Assistant & Junior Coaches

Every year, Sleepy Hollow enlists the help of former and current Sleepy Hollow swimmers as assistants and junior coaches.  We are fortunate to have so many outstanding young adults eager to share their love for this team and willing to give back to this team.  These coaches are leaders and role models and their enthusiasm, patience and LEGEND PRIDE are a valuable asset to the coaching staff and the entire team.
