Keith Green is beginning his seventh season with the Long Island Aquatic Club. Green is a former High School All-American and Catholic High School National Champion in both the 50 and 100 Freestyle who went on to swim at the University of Georgia. 

Green has previously coached at Molloy High School and with Long Beach Aquatics. He is currently the Head Coach of 13 & O #2 and an assistant coach on 13 & O #1. 

“I chose LIAC because I have always admired Both Dave and Ginny's professionalism and dedication to the sport and its swimmers, dating back to my time as a swimmer in Metro.”
​
“I love coaching because I enjoy watching and being a part of our swimmers succeeding both in and out of the pool. It's amazing to watch them take the lessons they learn here at LIAC and put them to use as they move forward in their academic and athletic careers.” 

Peter O'Donnell
Peter O’Donnell is a native of Blauvelt, NY.  O’Donnell was a High School swimmer and was a state championship qualifier both his junior and senior years. O’Donnell graduated from Tappan Zee High School and went on to complete his college education at SUNY Purchase. 

O’Donnell began coaching with New York Sharks in 2011. From 2013-2015 O’Donnell coached with Phoenix Aquatic Club before returning to New York Sharks from 2015-2020. 

From 2014-2018 O’Donnell was a part of a private competitive lessons program which utilized an endless pool and video footage to bolster technical aspects of the four strokes. In his time there O’Donnell worked with athletes from beginner to collegiate levels. 

“My love of swimming and coaching comes from the belief that if a person is given the correct opportunity and guidance, anyone can achieve greatness. My coaches had a great influence on my life and I am grateful for their commitment to me as a young person, this is something I hope to pass along to future generations of athletes.” 
​
“I chose LIAC because of the abundance of opportunity here on Long Island. From the infrastructure, owners, leadership, experience, staff and facility all of which made me believe LIAC would be a great fit for me to grow and continue to improve and learn as a coach and person.” ​

O’Donnell will primarily be working with the 13 & Over groups, serving as an assistant coach on both 13 & Over #1 and 13 & Over #2.
