2026 Seahawks Coaching Staff
Hi everyone! My name is Lilly Eichelberger, and I’m thrilled to return to the Seahawks as Head Coach this season! A little bit about me: I’m currently finishing up my junior year at Stevenson University, where I’m majoring in Legal Studies on a pre-law track and competing on the NCAA volleyball team, in addition to being on the Mock Trial team. This will be my fifth year coaching summer swim in Urbana, and I spent about 10 years swimming with the Seahawks growing up. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the sport, and I’m committed to making this season an incredible experience for everyone. I have a passion for coaching, and just like you, I’m always eager to continue learning so I welcome any feedback you may have. If you ever want to chat, don’t hesitate to reach out! I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you very soon. Get excited, it’s going to be a great summer!
Hi everyone! My name is Camila Maita, and I’m so excited to be back for another awesome summer with Seahawks! This will be my second summer as Assistant Head Coach, and I can’t wait to meet you all! I’m currently a rising junior at The Catholic University of America, where I’m in the Honors Program and pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Brain Sciences. A little about me—I’ve been a competitive swimmer since I was 5 years old and spent 10 years swimming with RMSC Germantown. I’m also a 2024 graduate of Seneca Valley High School, where I swam on the varsity team all four years. I’ve previously coached in the GGSL swim league and taught both group and private swim lessons through Montgomery County Recreation. I love working with swimmers of all levels and helping them grow in both skill and confidence. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m so excited to meet everyone and have a fun, fast, and successful season, let’s make it a great one!

Hello everyone! My name is Ella Wirth. I graduated from Frederick High School and am currently a rising junior at Stevenson University, majoring in Psychology on a Pre-Physical Therapy track. I swam at Stevenson in the fall, but prior to that I swam at Frederick Area Swim Team (FAST) for 14 years and Whittier Riptides during the summers. I coached for both FAST and Whittier for the last three years, and this past year I also had the opportunity to coach for Merritt Swim Club. Due to an injury, I am unable to continue to competitively swim, but I still spend my time still on the pool deck, coaching. I enjoy swimming and coaching and I’m very excited to be apart of Seahawks and meet you all. This will be an amazing summer!
