SWIM TEAM CO-CHAIRS
Greg Ariff grew up in New Jersey, spending his summer weekdays at the neighborhood pool, going to swim practice in the morning and staying to play all day with his friends. When he was old enough, he life guarded and then coached swimming at another nearby swim club. Greg moved to Nottingham Green in 2008 and was happy to discover a neighborhood swim club that could provide the same experience of community and opportunities for fun and competitive swimming to his own children. Greg has been a member of Nottingham Swim Club since 2011 with his wife, Holly, and sons, Robby and Ben. Greg has enjoyed supporting the swim club and team as a volunteer, including serving as a swim meet official for many years. As a board co-chair for the swim team, Greg is committed to continuing the Nottingham tradition of providing our youth with a fun, supportive, and character-building experience through competitive swimming.
