My name is Zack Hobby and I am very excited to be the next Head Coach of the Penhurst Predators. I have been swimming since I moved to Marietta in 2008, starting with summer swim, then joining Chattahoochee Gold in middle school. I swam all four years at Lassiter High School and later committed to swim collegiately at Carson-Newman University. I swam for 1.5 years for the Eagles before finishing my degree at Kennesaw State University. I have now been teaching and coaching at Sprayberry High School for the past 3 years. I have coached summer league, club swim, and at the high school level. Through all of those experiences, I have come to treasure the hard work and dedication this sport requires. This sport has taught me how to lead, how to hold myself accountable, and how to hold myself to high expectations. I am excited to help your athletes have a fun and productive summer. Go Preds!

Coming Soon!

My name is Jameson Guthrie, and I’m so excited to be returning to coach Penhurst this year! I have been swimming competitively for 9 years now, and I swim for Stingrays. My favorite strokes are sprint breaststroke and freestyle, as well as IM. My favorite parts about summer swim are getting the team hyped up and cheering everyone on. I am so excited to see everyone grow in their swimming this season and I can’t wait to be back! 

Hey everyone! My name is Evan Kambies and I am super excited to be a coach for Penhurst. Swimming has been a part of my live for as long I can remember (literally before I could even form memories), and I love the water more than any other form of recreation medium. This season, I hope to teach each little predator to share that same joy of swimming so they too can make lasting memories. Hopefully in that process, they will also drop wicked amounts of time and dominate our competition (with good spirits and sportsmanship of course)!
