Meet Coach Olivia Allen
Coach Olivia Allen has served as the head coach for the Northfield High School Men’s and Women’s Swim and Dive programs since 2024, after serving two years as a Nighthawk assistant coach. With a strong background in both competitive swimming and water polo, she brings a wealth of experience and dedication to the program.
Coach Allen’s journey in aquatic sports began in California at Santa Monica High School, where she excelled as a swimmer and water polo player, leading her team to a state championship as captain. She continued her athletic career at the University of Redlands and went on to coach age-group water polo teams through the Junior Olympics for five years before shifting her focus to swim coaching.
Since joining Northfield, Coach Allen has been instrumental in guiding athletes to League Championships and CHSAA State qualifying performances. Her dual-expertise in water polo and swimming provides a unique, well-rounded approach to coaching that emphasizes technical skill development, mental resilience, personal growth, and a positive team environment.
In addition to her coaching role, Coach Allen teaches Freshman English and Honors Debate at Northfield, allowing her to engage with student-athletes both in the classroom and in the pool as she leads the team to continued success.
