RACHEL MILLER

This is my second year coaching for Super Sharks, however I am no stranger around a pool or water. I started swimming competitively when I was six for Kamloops Classic Swimming. My competitive career was short; yet I am proud that I was able to achieve AAA times by the age of 12 in a couple of events. My favourite stroke is breaststroke. Like many others, I transitioned into lifeguarding and swim instructing. I still lifeguard in the summers and you can find me on the beaches or at the outdoor pools in Vancouver. I have had the pleasure of teaching a range of swimmers in my career, including adult non-swimmers to master swim club. A moment I am proud of is privately coaching an individual for a triathlon and being convinced to register and complete the triathlon myself! Currently I am an elementary school teacher in Richmond, and I have coached a couple of the high schools that I previously worked at. I am excited to get to know the swimmers and to help them build confidence in their swimming abilities, even in the strokes they may not prefer.
