Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

With nearly 19 years in competitive swimming, my journey includes 10 years as an athlete and 8 years as a coach. I earned All-State and All-Division honors and received offers to compete in college for swimming and water polo. After burnout, I took up boxing at Towson University, where I began coaching and rediscovered my love for the sport. I have coached at the high school, YMCA, and USA Swimming levels. After working at UFs Gator Swim Camps, I connected deeply with Gainesville. I returned home to finish my B.S. at Dean College and launched TIDE Swimming. Now based in Gainesville, I coach for Gator Swim Club and am earning both my masters and doctorate degrees in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2024

Hello! My name is Jena and I have been a competitive swimmer for almost my entire life! I started swimming when I was 11 and pretty much never stopped. When I was young, I always watched the older kids teaching swim lessons in my club and wanted to do that one day. When I turned 14 I was finally old enough to start learning to teach swim lessons and loved every second of it! I taught within my club all up until I graduated high school. I then became a lifeguard and taught private lessons for my local parks department. I have experience with ages 4 and up! I am now an assistant coach for 2 teams (club and middle school)! I fell back in love with the sport and now I practice on an adult team.
