Jamie Bowne, Head Swim Coach
My name is Jamie Bowne, and I have been the head coach at Sunnybrook since 2022. I grew up swimming within Tri-County since I was 7 years old. My summer swim experience allowed me to create many lasting memories and inspired my love for the sport. Throughout my age group and high school years, I was a Tri-County champion in several events and won South Jersey Swimmer of the year my Junior year. In college, I swam on the varsity team at TCNJ, where I studied psychology and school counseling. I also helped coach the varsity women’s team at TCNJ during my masters program. Throughout the school year, I am a school counselor and swim coach at Delran High School, and I am the head Junior coach for MLY Phoenix. I am excited to be joining Sunnybrook for another season! Go Makos!

Emily Chalbert, Asst. Swim Coach
My name is Emily Chalbert, and I have been a member of Sunnybrook Swim Club since I was seven years old. Over the years, I have spent much of my summers at the club as a swimmer, volunteer, lifeguard, and private swim instructor.
I have lived in Moorestown my entire life and graduated from Moorestown High School in June 2025. During high school, I was a member of the Moorestown Girls Varsity Swim Team, where I developed strong leadership and teamwork skills. I also served as an ambassador for Morgan’s Message, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health in athletes. During my junior and senior years, I organized swim meets dedicated to raising awareness for this important cause. In my senior year, I was honored to serve as team captain and help lead our team to a Sectional Championship.
This fall, I will begin my sophomore year at University of Connecticut, where I am studying psychology with plans to pursue a career in clinical child psychology. I am also an active member of the university’s club swim team and had the opportunity to compete at College Club Swimming Nationals this past April in Greensboro, North Carolina.
I am very excited to be coaching this summer and look forward to a fun and successful season!
Jake Greenleaf, Asst. Swim Coach
My name is Jake Greenleaf and I am a former Sunnybrook swimmer. I swam at Sunnybrook for 8 years over the summer and currently am the record holder in the 100 meter freestyle and served as anchor on both record-holding relay teams. I am a student at Lehigh University and compete on their varsity swim team. I love everything Sunnybrook and am prepared to take this team to A division! Go Makos!
Catie Shawaryn, Asst. Swim Coach
Hi everyone! My name is Catie Shawaryn and I was on the Sunnybrook swim team from Mini Makos in 2007 to 15-18s in 2022. I graduated from Moorestown High School in 2022, where I was part of the swim team for all four years. I was a collegiate rower at Princeton University and graduated this past spring with a degree in Public and International Affairs and a minor in Global Health Policy.
During my time at Princeton beyond academics and athletics, I worked with the school’s Office of Religious Life, SHARE Program (Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources, and Education), and STEM to Stern Program, which engaged middle and high school kids from the Trenton area in both rowing and stem activities. After this summer, I am moving to Bethel, Alaska for a year, where I am working at a women’s shelter and participating in youth education and other community outreach programs.
Outside of the pool, I love cooking, reading, hiking with my dogs, and any activity that involves being outside. I am so excited to be back at Sunnybrook and coaching in a place that has created amazing memories, friendships, and ultimately became the foundation of my love for swimming.
Noah Minarcik, Asst. Swim Coach
Swimming has been a defining part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a member at Sunnybrook for fourteen years, and that community is where my love for the sport truly began. Today, I am proud to continue that journey as a collegiate swimmer at McDaniel College, where I bring dedication, consistency, and a genuine passion for the sport to every practice and meet.
For the past five years, I’ve also been deeply involved in coaching. What started as helping out on deck has grown into an official assistant coach position, an opportunity that has strengthened my leadership skills and allowed me to support swimmers in a more meaningful way. Working with kids is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I love helping young athletes build confidence, develop strong technique, and discover the joy of swimming.
Outside the pool, I am also an assistant manager here at Sunnybrook. Whether I am training, coaching, or mentoring younger swimmers, I am committed to creating a positive, hardworking, and encouraging environment where everyone can grow.
