FCA Staff

Hello! My Name is Will Gallagher and I am the Director of Friends' Central Aquatics.

Below, feel free to read a little bit about me and the entire FCA Staff.

Thank you for entrusting FCA with your children!

Sincerely,

Will

 I joined Friends’ Central Aquatics (FCA) in August of 2019 as Assistant Head Coach, and was appointed Director in July of 2023. I am also the Meet Director and Operational Risk Director for all of our hosted USA Swimming meets. As well, I serve on the Board of Directors of Middle Atlantic Swimming as the Safe Sport Chair and participated as a member of the Middle Atlantic Summer All-Star Zone Coaching Staff in 2021 & 2022. I am an active participant in our Middle Atlantic Local Swimming Committee  and was reappointed to the USA Swimming National Committee of Safe Sport as the Eastern Zone Safe Sport Chair.

Prior to joining FCA, I was the Assistant Coach and Strength and Conditioning Coach at Lower Moreland Swimming & Diving.

I am from the Philadelphia area and grew up in Upper Dublin Township. I graduated from Slippery Rock University with a BS in Exercise Science and have a Masters in Sports Management, from the University of Texas-Austin.

I am a passionate fan of all four Philadelphia sports teams. However, my favorite team is the Philadelphia Eagles and my favorite memory is attending the 2017 NFC Championship game with my dad. I also enjoy running, biking, and hiking. I am sure you can find me on the Schuylkill River Trail!
