ADA - The Bulldog varsity swim team has a new coach with a familiar face this winter in an Ada native.
Former Bulldog and Ohio Northern University swimmer Katey Stuart assumes the reins of the Ada swim program this season.
Stuart is a pharmacy major at ONU, and has finished her eligibility for the Polar Bear swim team. She will get coaching help from former Ada swimmer Zach Beaschler.
Due to the pandemic, for the first time in almost 20 years the team is unable to practice at the ONU natatorium. Instead, the squad has to practice at the Kenton YMCA.
