I am thrilled to have Coach Kelly joining me this summer! Kelly is Captain of the Girls Swim Team at Union HS. She brings 8 years of swim team experience and kills it in the 100 Breaststroke. Kelly is the 3rd of 4 girls. She plays the oboe, loves chocolate and hates the feel of sand :)

Coach Mac is preparing to serve a 2-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He reports Aug 5th for Johannesburg, South Africa. Mac will be coaching with me in Session #1 and #4, as well as Privates on Wednesdays.

Coach Camdyn is in Utah, arms full with her one-year-old baby!

My son Brody is currently serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in New Zealand through June 2027 and will be back to coach next summer.

As for myself, my name is Stacey. I have 4 children who learned to swim in this very pool. I grew up in Arizona swimming almost year-round. I am a long-distance Ironman triathlon swimmer, give me a wet suite and I can freestyle swim for hours! This is my 4th summer coaching in our pool. Why didn’t I start this during COVID!?!?

**Class times/levels are subject to change based on sign-ups. Example: I add an Otter class to the afternoon session.—————————————————————————————————For safety and individual skill development, I keep GROUP classes small: younger swimmers have a 2:4 coach-to-swimmer ratio, and older swimmers a 1:4 ratio.

Parents are asked to remain on the patio behind the gate so swimmers can focus on instruction. We’ll invite you over the final 5 mins to see what we’ve been working on.

We have a Pee Rock for swimmers. It gets used a lot :) Unless is it an URGENT #2, I’d rather not have 50 pair of wet feet in and out of my house each day :)

In order to not block the circular driveway, please park against the white pasture fences or behind the garage doors.
