Gigi Gigliotti – Minis, Junior, and Junior Select, Manager for stroke, in-water, and T&E – Gigi has been with Tollefson Swimming since 2022. You’ll see her on deck organizing and overseeing our stroke and in-water instructors. Gigi’s goal for her swimmers is to help them develop a great work ethic, sportsmanship, be willing to take on challenges, and create a safe, fun environment for open communication and excellence. Aside from incentivizing them to create their own goals, Gigi will help them develop a plan for those goals to be achieved.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Gigi has been a competitive swimmer since she was 10 years old and was also a member of the Brazilian national swim team, representing Brazil in both national and international competitions. A full scholarship to the University of Utah brought Gigi to the US where she excelled as a swimmer, improving times and qualifying for NCAA D1 meets. In the summer, Gigi coaches for the Kenmont Tsunamis who went undefeated and won their division champs in 2024.

Henry Tollefson, Head Coach, Age Group Elite (AGE) -Henry has been coaching at TOLL since 2017 and head coach since 2022. He’s also spent seven years as either an assistant or head coach for several MCSL pools in lower MoCo, most recently head coach for CCRA. As head coach at TOLL, Henry works to support our athletes in training and at meets by providing an extensive program for our swimmers in all groups. This includes making certain our swimmers get the training they need in the water and in the weight room, while also ensuring our swimmers are able to attend the most competitive meets for their ability level, including regional and national level meets. 

As a Team, TOLL coaches under Henry’s guidance are working to prepare swimmers for IMX events in the 14&U age groups, and prepare swimmers for LSC, Zone, Sectional and National level championship meets for all age groups. One of the goals of the AGE group is to have all swimmers qualify for and compete at IMX. The AGE training consists of a comprehensive approach to training: Swimmers 12-14 years old focus on goal setting, practice consistency, building a strong work ethic, and qualifying for finals at championship meets. Henry enjoys helping swimmers learn life-long habits that are built through swimming.
