My name is Tyler Kaiser; I am 21 years old and will be beginning my third year at Trine University studying Sports Management next fall. I’ve been diving for eight years and this will be my seventh year coaching. I’m the Aquatics Coordinator at the YMCA of Steuben County along with an assistant swim coach for Angola High School and the Angola Wavemakers. This will be my fifth year coaching at Poco and I’m very excited to not only help your kids move to the next level in diving or even start their diving journey, but also have fun and grow in character on the way. Coming off a super successful year, finishing first overall in the boys team competition and second overall in the whole team competition at City Dive Finals, I’m extremely excited to get back on the boards and have another great season!
