Hi, my name is Abby Mahlum, and I am so excited to be an assistant Coach for the Krakens this year! I'm 17 years old and a junior at Jordan high school where I’m also on the Varsity Swim team. It will be my third year of Coaching and my 13th year as a swimmer on the team. I look forward to the summer all year long because coaching each and everyone of your kids is an absolute joy and a privilege and I can’t wait to do it again and help our team remain undefeated!

Hi Krakens!
My name is Coach Bailey. I am currently a Freshman at Texas State University for Theatre Education and I’ll be one of your Assistant Coaches this summer! Swimming has always been very special to me. I’ve been swimming since I was 4 years old and have been with the Krakens for 11 years! During those years, I also swam for many club swim teams, my high school team, and even played Waterpolo for a bit! This will be my 3rd year coaching for the Krakens (after a brief break last season) and I am so excited to be back.
A fun fact about me is that I am a huge Harry Potter fan! If you ever want to talk to me about how cool magic is, I will be all ears, but nothing will be more magical than this swim season. Can’t wait to meet everyone, release the Kraken!
Hey Krakens!
My name is Joe Guidry and I am a sophomore at Saint John XXIII college preparatory. I am so excited to be a junior coach this year! I have been swimming with the Krakens for eight years now but this will be my first year as a junior coach. My favorite stroke has always been breaststroke. When I’m out of the pool, I really enjoy music like playing the piano, guitar, or just singing along to my favorite songs. At school, I am on the basketball team, in the handbell choir, and I am on the comedy sports team. I’m ready to do everything I can to not only train our swimmers to be the best Krakens they can be, but also to make sure they have the time of their lives doing it!
Go Krakens!

Hi Krakens!
My name is Andrew Nakazono, and I'm so thrilled to be a junior coach again this summer! I've swam with the Krakens for 10 years, and this will be my second year coaching the team. I am a sophomore at Jordan High School and I swim in the JV team, while I've also swam with the First Colony Swim Team.
Apart from swim, I am also a member of the JHS Band. Some of my favorite hobbies include spending time with my friends, walking outside, and exploring new music, movies, and shows. I had an amazing time last year with the team, and I strive to make this year's season even more memorable!

Hi Krakens!
My name is Seth Prust and I will be one of your junior coaches this summer! I have been a part of the krakens for 11 years now and this is my second year coaching. Swimming has been an absolutely huge part of my life and I have loved every minute of it! I am currently a sophomore at Jordan high school. When I am not at the pool I love to build Legos, work in the Jordan Theatre Company, hang out with my friends, and work out. I am a huge film lover. I mean anything film related you want to talk about or have questions about. I am your man. I love movies, especially superheroes(spider-man is the best). Recently I have been missing the Krakens a lot. I genuinely love this team and it brings me so much joy, I am so ready for this season. I cannot wait to see and help everyone improve, and see their love of the sport grow throughout the season.
GO KRAKENS!!!
Sebastian Veracoechea is excited to serve as a Junior Coach for the Cross Creek Krakens during the 2026 summer season. He previously swam with the team and has several years of competitive swimming experience, which helped him build a strong foundation in stroke technique and race strategy. Outside of swimming, he is involved in his school’s band program and volunteers in his community. He enjoys working with younger swimmers, helping them improve their skills, build confidence, and have fun as part of the team.
Hello Krakens!
My name is Leonardo Rojas Rodriguez, but you can call me Leo.
I’ve spent 12 years of my life in the water 7 years in summer league, 12 years club swimming, 4 years on my high school varsity swim team, and 1 year as Varsity Captain. It’s safe to say swimming has been a huge part of who I am.
I’m currently studying at Houston Christian University, working toward a degree in Business Marketing. Outside of the pool, I enjoy sketching, acrylic and oil painting, playing the violin, and hitting the gym (my new version of swim), and I am a movie fanatic . Also… Black Rock over Starbucks any day of the week.
For 10 months out of the year I miss the Krakens, and the other 2 months I’m back home with you all. I always look forward to helping everyone improve their technique and grow their love for swimming.
GO KRAKENS!!!
