Hi my name is Coach Charity!
I’ve been swimming for over 8 years now and been teaching for 6 since I was 16. I started coaching for a professional swim team 2 years ago and was a supervisor for a pool for 3 years now. I’m currently in graduate school for occupational therapy and it's actually a specific swim lesson I taught that made me realize I wanted to pursue this career! What drives me as a coach and future therapist is the smiles on the faces of the people I serve. I love seeing them reach a goal they've worked so hard for. I will always celebrate success no matter how small as those small steps can lead to the bigger goal. I will always work to build an individual in knowledge, skills, and confidence. Outside of swimming, I love to play the Batman Arkham games, watch TV, and build crafts for the people I love. I keep crafts made for me dear to my heart and still have some from years ago!
