Just days after DC Trident general manager Kaitlin Sandeno announced Cyndi Gallagher as the head coach of the ISL team, the team also announced the additions of Rachel Stratton-Mills and Stefanie Williams Moreno as assistant coaches. This comes after Sandeno announced the team would be led by an all-female coaching staff to be the first major professional sports team to do so.
The DC Trident will be swimming in the very first International Swimming League meet in Indianapolis October 5-6 along with the Cali Condors, Aqua Centurions and Energy Standard.

Stratton-Mills is currently the associate head coach at Arizona State University, having previously served as an assistant coach at both Dartmouth College and the University of Maryland. Prior to this, she also helped coach Lia Neal at Asphalt Green Unified Aquatics to the 2012 Olympic Team when Neal was just 17. Stratton-Mills swam for Gallagher at UCLA where she earned her Bachelor’s of Art in Sociology.
Stefanie Williams
Williams is currently the associate head coach at the University of Georgia where she also swam, winning three NCAA titles from 1999-2002.
