Lakepark Swim Team

2026 Coaches

Head Coach - Gavin Formon

Hey Lakepark! My name is Gavin Formon and I am excited to get to know and coach all of you this summer! I am graduating from The College of New Jersey this spring with a degree in Economics and minor in Finance. I have been swimming my whole life, starting with swim lessons when I was 4 years old, followed by club swimming and most recently as a member of the TCNJ Men's Swim and Dive Team. While at TCNJ, I have served as a captain of the team for two years and been fortunate enough to qualify for Division III NCAA's all four years. My favorite event is the 400IM and I also compete in the 500 FR and 1650 FR. Since moving to North Carolina after my freshman year of college, I have been swimming and coaching with New Wave Swim Team during breaks from college. I never personally swam summer league when I was younger, as it was not as popular in New Jersey but I am excited to get involved this summer. Like I said, being from New Jersey, made me a New York Jets fan, which sadly has been a rough few years to watch. But luckily, I now am a Hurricanes fan and go to some of the games with my family when I am back from college. I have two dogs, Charlie & Gromit and love to take them on hikes. Some of my other hobbies include spending time outdoors, watching soccer and playing video games. Some other quick fun facts are my favorite food is Ice Cream, I go to England every August to visit family/friends, I have 2 younger sisters and a younger brother, and I can name almost every country in the world. I look forward to becoming a part of the Lakepark family this summer!

Assistant Coach- Cody Watts

Hi Lakepark! My name is Cody Watts. I am 16 years old and a rising junior at Sanderson High School. I am very excited to be coaching my first year at Lakepark. I have been a Marlin since I was 2 years old. I have been swimming year-round with New Wave Swim Team for the past 10 years. Through my years of swimming, I have attended many clinics, camps, and national meets, where I have gained experience that I look forward to sharing with the Lakepark Marlins. When I am not in the pool, I like to hang out with friends and family, play and watch sports, and hang out with my dogs, Daisy and Oakley. I’m looking forward to seeing some fast swimming this summer! Go Marlins!
