Fairfax Swim and Dive

Hello Fairfax Frogs Family! My name is Hannah Basl, and I am so honored to be returning as the head coach of this incredible team for the 2026 summer season. I was a Frog for the entirety of my swim career from the ages of 6- 18, with my last year as an athlete being the summer of 2013. I came back to assist in coaching the summer of 2014 and still thrive off of Froggy Spirit. Some other parts of my swim journey include swimming for the Mason Makos for 9 years and being a part of the Woodson High School Swim and Dive team for 4 years. During the year I teach and coach at Falls Church High School. I am a science nerd and get to exhibit this love in my Biology and AP Biology classes. Over the last 8 years at FCHS I have also gotten to share my love of swim and dive with the Jaguars. I have been a part of the swim and dive coaching staff since beginning at the school in 2018 and have been serving as the head coach for the last 7 years. I also coach with the Fairfax Foxes and L4 masters. I love to read and reread the Harry Potter series, binge watch British comedies, and play with my cats (Penelope, Ash, Ember) and dog (Bindi Roo).

Go Frogs! 

Hey Frogs! My name is Maddie Kiernan and I am so excited to be returning for the 2026 season for my second year as assistant head coach! I swam for the frogs from ages 10-18, graduating in 2024. I started swimming with York Swim Club when I was 5, and swam with them year round through my senior year. I went to PVI High School in Chantilly and swam for the Panthers for all 4 years of high school, and played varsity softball. I'm currently at JMU as an elementary education major, where I am on the club swim team and work as a swim instructor at the on campus rec center. When I’m not in the pool, I love to go to 7 Brew and Dunkin, do crafts, travel, watch musicals, and go on adventures with my friends and siblings. I'm so hyped to be back this season and coach this amazing team!! GO FROGS!!
