Swimming has been in my life for so long. Once my collegiate swimming career came to an end, I knew I had to continue to share my love for the sport with others.
United States
I started swimming competitively at 10 years old, and as I grew older, I gained a lot of coaching experience. I started my own learn-to-swim business about 6 years ago, and it continues to flourish. With 4 employees I manage, we are bringing swim to the community, ensuring everyone has access to learn.
Swimming collegiately also gave me so much knowledge and wisdom of the sport. So, when it was time to retire the goggles, and I moved to the Bahamas, I felt more than prepared to help others find their love for the water and the sport.

When I moved to the Bahamas, my love for swimming followed me. After the devastating Hurricane Dorian in 2019, there has been no swim program on the island. The number of Bahamians who live near the water, surrounded by water, employed by the ocean, and don’t know how to swim is astonishing. We have a successful Learn to Swim program, as well as a Competitive Swim team. Both continue to grow and achieve new levels of mastery we didn’t think were previously possible!
In the competitive swim world, in the Bahamas, swimming is so much more than the times you go. It’s fun, it’s electric, it’s loud. Bahamians know what it’s like to be a team with so much pride and to do what it takes to win.
