Spring Cypress Stingrays Swim Team

Brian Castillo - Head Coach:

Hello Everyone! I am Brian Castillo, your head coach for the 2025 season! I am very excited to join the Stingray family this summer and cannot wait to meet everyone.

My swimming career started at 5 years old when I joined my first summer league team. From there my passion for the sport grew. I started my club career at PACK, and then moved to Lone Star Swim Team a few years later before finishing at FLEET. I also competed for the Cypress Cyclones for several years, and swam at Cy Woods High School all four years of high school. During my high school career I was a regional finalist in 100 fly and the 200 free relay. After high school I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I majored in Kinesiology.

My coaching career began in 2017 where I was the assistant coach for the StoneGators. While in Austin I also helped coach the Barton Creek Sharks while learning from a UT swimming Alumni and NCAA champion. After graduation my wife and I moved back to Cypress where I coached the Cypress Cyclones for the past two summers and am currently the head swim coach for Cy Woods High School.

In my spare time, I enjoy being outside, spending time with my wife and two dogs, working out, and watching movies.

Looking forward to a great season!

My name is Lilly and I am so excited for this swim season. My swimming career started at the age of 5 all the way until the age of 18. I swam every year on Cypress Mills Mako Sharks, and was a junior assistant coach. Throughout the 13 years, I was on various year round teams. From Villa Sport, Fins, Pack, and most recently on Houston Hydra. I also did year around water polo. During water polo with Houston hydra, I attended a season at Junior Olympics.
