Jacob Grant
Women’s Head Coach / Men’s Asst Coach
I graduated from Ohio University in May 2015 with a degree in Finance and a minor in Spanish. I swam competitively since the third grade up through high school where I played water polo as well.
I went on to play water polo at Ohio University for three years before coaching the girls’ team my senior year. I was a 100 flyer and a 50 freestyler throughout high school.
I am looking forward to a very successful swim season. My main goal this season is to see everyone drop time from previous years. I am also looking forward to helping with stroke techniques and breaking down each individual’s stroke.

Jenna Anselmo
Men’s Head Coach / Women’s Asst Coach
Coach Jenna Anselmo is back for her 6th season as the Men’s Head Coach and 2nd season as the Women’s Assistant Coach. She is also the Assistant Coach for the Women’s Water Polo team.
Jenna comes from a long aquatic background, having been a member of the Pennridge Aquatic Club for 10 years and then as a 4-year Varsity swimmer at Pennridge High School from 1999-2003. She specialized in breaststroke and backstroke during her swim years.
She started her coaching career with PAC in 2010 and has loved getting the opportunity to come back to the team that raised her and now gets to work with the next generations of Pennridge swimmers.
Coach Jenna’s philosophy has evolved over the years but it always starts simple: make it fun. If it’s not fun, it’s not worth investing the time and energy required for success. Winning meets is never the focus, but celebrating the individual improvements of each athlete. Progress over perfection.
Jenna’s happy place is the pool deck, but when she is not coaching she enjoys reading, cooking, experimenting with hair colors, and spending time with her husband John, and their pit bull Apollo.
