Coach Erin grew up with a love for water and competitive swimming. She became a lifeguard and taught swim lessons at age 16 and has never looked back in her love for teaching people how to be safe in and around the pool. She made All-American and All-state in high school and went on to swim for four years as an NCAA Division 1 athlete at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. 

Erin earned a degree in Visual Communications and Public Relations with a minor in Marketing. She has been a supporter and motivator throughout her life and has been a captain and leader in and out of water. After graduation, Erin quickly realized she had to get back to the pool and became a USA Competitive Swimming coach with Cheyenne Mountain Swim Club in Colorado Springs. Erin went on to coach age group at North Shore Swim Club in Massachusetts and loved getting back to basics and being able to teach young swimmers the stroke technique and love for the sport. 

Erin is a proud Air Force spouse. She met her husband in high school through their love for competitive swimming. They now have four beautiful boys who are full of energy and adventure. Erin and her husband knew from the time their children were young that water safety was imperative. Their youngest son took Swim Life lessons, and she knew then that it was her calling. Erin believes God put her on this earth to work with children and make a difference; she is excited to help others learn the skills needed to change lives and save lives to help prevent drowning.
