Hi! My name is Edith. I am a recent graduate from a private D2 university in Findlay, Ohio, where I competed at a collegiate level for all four years.

I competed from elementary school to high school with the TBAC team, training right here in River Hills, and swimming for the Newsome swim team, competing in States for all four years. Now let me share my experience teaching the kids how to swim. I started doing private lessons and coaching under my club team from junior year to senior year.
