"Hidden Hollow swim club has been a part of my childhood since I was 4 years old. My mom took us there everyday of the summer. It feels like a full circle moment that I am now able to come back and become the head coach at the pool that made me so happy. The pool taught me how to make friends with others, taught me discipline in the work place, and also taught me how to do the sport that has become an essential part of my life. Swimming as a sport set me up with life skills such as: time management, determination, self motivation, and working with a group. These skills will follow me throughout my life and I am grateful for the opportunity to come back to Hidden Hollow as head coach for the summer of 2023."
