Coaching Staff
 Eric Palmer
Head Coach
Coach's Bio
In his 5th season as Head Coach of the Barracuda Swim Team, Eric is a third generation swimmer and coach and a former Barracuda swimmer. Coming to the Bangor Y's competitive swimming program with stellar recommendations, he picked up where his predecessors left off leading the team to several successful winter and summer seasons, helping steer them in a positive direction needed to achieve their personal and team goals. As both a former Barracuda swimmer and a UMaine alumni swimmer, Eric knows first hand that swimming can last a lifetime and hopes to share his love of swimming by motivating young Barracudas to follow the same lifelong path. By cultivating a fun, upbeat environment for the team, sharing his swimming experience through his enthusiastic personality, and teaching skills swimmers can apply both in and out of the pool throughout their lifetime, he hopes to see the excitement of being part of the Barracuda Swim Team continue to grow.
