A lifelong competitive swimmer, collegiate varsity rower, and masters swimmer, Coach Hilary Kavanagh was thrilled to return to the pool in 2013 to begin her coaching career. Since becoming Coach Kav, she has worked at several Massachusetts swim clubs and even joined Team New England, which scored wins across individual age groups and the overall Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team championship title in 2022. At the beginning of the school year in 2022, Kavanagh joined the Boys Swim program as an assistant coach in the newly opened Pan Athletic Center. In 2023, Andover went on to win its third Easterns Championship. Coach Kav is now excited to take on her new role as Head Coach of Girls Swimming.
No matter the level of experience of the swimmer, Coach Kav is an encouraging coach who values the efforts of each athlete she mentors. She aspires to lead her students to be the best version of themselves both in and out of the pool.
