Like many swimmers, Carolyn grew up swimming for her neighborhood summer team. She also swam for her high school team and her local club teams. Throughout these experiences, she developed a lifelong love of the sport.
In May 2024, Carolyn graduated from Wheaton College with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a minor in graphic design. While at Wheaton, she swam on the varsity swim team for all four years. She was voted the most improved swimmer in her sophomore season and swam all conference in her junior and seniors seasons. Carolyn was a conference champion on several relays, and placed second in the 100 fly and third in 50 free. She holds the 11th fastest 100 fly time and the 4th fastest 50 fly split in the program's history.
Carolyn has coached swimming of the past seven summers, most recently for the Gettysvue swim teams. What she has loved most about coaching is helping swimmers find the joy in swimming. She is looking forward to coaching this season at Bearden High School.
I am 5th grade teacher in Knoxville, TN, and an experienced swim coach. I have coached at multiple USA Swim Clubs in both Athens, GA and Amelia Island, as well as multiple summer leagues in TX, GA, and FL. Now, I coach Green Meadow Swim Team in Alcoa. I enjoy helping swimmers grow in skill and confidence, and helping them fall in love with the sport I did 20 years ago!
