Assistant Coach
I used to train at this pool some time ago, and the skills I acquired here have led to significant achievements. In the year when the USA Junior Nationals took place at this very pool, I made it to the tower finals. That same year, at the Brazilian Nationals, I secured second place in both the 1m and 3m Synchro events. I was awarded a full scholarship to the University of Hawaii at Manoa! During my first year in college, I was among the five freshman girls to qualify for the NCAA Championships. At the Conference Championships every year I competed, I consistently reached the podium as a finalist. I am thrilled to be back, ready to share the knowledge and experiences gained, this time coaching from the other end of the pool!
