My name is Kelsey Quinn and I began swimming in a summer swim league in my hometown of Cashmere, WA at the age of 5.

I loved swimming so much that I started lifeguarding, teaching and coaching. I currently have over 10 years’ experience teaching lessons and over 5 years’ experience coaching swim teams including Developmental and USA Swimming sanction teams.  

I adore teaching children of all ages but my passion lies in teaching swim technique. I also find it extremely rewarding watching young children as they learn to swim for the first time. 

During my time away from BDA, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at The UNC-Chapel Hill, School of Medicine. Along with swimming, I also love science!   

I am very excited to be joining the BDA family and look forward to meeting you at the pool!
