My name is Katie, and I joined the BDA team as a swim lessons instructor and lifeguard. I swam competitively from ages four to 18, and the sport is a huge part of my life. I have taught private swim lessons for the past four summers and just finished my first season coaching a summer league team. I also coached swimming for the Special Olympics of Orange County for about five years. I’m heading into my second year of university at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, where I study sociology and religious studies. I hope to go on to law school when I graduate. While I’m home in Chapel Hill for the summer, I enjoy reading and spending time with my dog, a little chihuahua named Steve. |
