Coach Hrisa has been coaching swim for 16 years and teaching for the past 12 years, and she truly loves getting to combine both in such a fun environment at the Lodge! Swimming has always been a big part of her life, backstroke is her favorite (with breaststroke as a very close second!). Coach Hrisa believes there is nothing better than watching kids build confidence, improve their skills, and have a blast doing it. She is so excited for another amazing season with the Lionfish and can’t wait to cheer everyone on, celebrate progress, and make lots of great memories together in and out of the pool!
