BriannaSwim Instructor

Hello!

I earned my bachelor’s degree in public health with a minor in substance abuse counseling from the University of Nevada, Reno, where I swam for the Women’s Swim team for three years. Following my undergraduate studies, I joined the Peace Corps and worked in the country of Grenada as a mental health advocate and elementary school teacher. I have years of experience in mental health and emergency management.
As an instructor at Bridgewater Swim Academy, I continue to fulfill my passion of swimming on the pool deck. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family, friends, and dog, Mickey. I love swimming in the nearest lake, river or ocean during the summer.

HaleySwim Instructor

Hello, my name is Haley. I grew up in Linden, which is a really small town in California. I moved to Reno in 2022 to attend the University of Nevada, Reno in hopes to become a nurse. In my free time, I like to go to the gym, hike, go to the lake, hangout with friends, and basically do anything outdoors. I have swam competitively since the age of 10. Swimming is one of my favorite sports. When I was little, my family always referred to me as a “fish” because I loved the water so much. Since I have graduated high school, I have been teaching swim lessons in hopes to give clients the same sense of love for swim that I have. I love to watch the clients learn as they are doing swim lessons. It is important to me to build relationships with each of the clients I teach.

CamrynSwim Instructor

Hi everyone! My name is Camryn I’m from Fresno, California. I moved to Reno for school almost a year ago. I am studying Psychology of psychological science with a minor in Professional and Public writing and a Pre-Law client at University of Nevada -Reno. One of the organizations that I am apart of on campus is Student Ambassadors, we give tours to prospective clients who are interested in attending the University!

At the age of 6 years old, when I moved to the Central Valley, I didn’t know how to swim, and all of my friends from school were apart of a swim club. My first summer in Fresno my parents signed me up for the club and throughout the summer I learned to swim and absolutely fell in love with sport. From the age of 8 to 18 years I swam competitively on a USA swim club, and I guess you could say the rest is history.

Along with swimming competitively, I also compete in triathlons. Fun fact about a year ago I competed at Age Group Nationals in Milwaukee hosted by USAT. I have so much passion for swimming and I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm with everyone at Bridgewater Swim Academy.
