Our Instructors

 Swimming has been a key part of my life. I've swam for 8 years competitively and still continue to swim competitively. I've swam at regional and state level completions. I enjoy working with all ages and abilities of swimmers. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn and thrive in the water. I want everyone to be able to have the proper skills to remain safe and comfortable in the water.  

I have always loved the water, swimming in my first WY state swim meet by the time I was 6 years old.  I competitively swam for 16 years.  During this time I broke numerous state age group and high school records, attended my first Jr. Nationals at 15 years old and was a 5X All-American in High School.  I went on to continue my swimming career at Washington State University where I was awarded most inspirational female athlete my freshman year.  I obtained 3 Top 10 Swims of All Time marks during my tenure at WSU in the 100 back, 200 back and 200 IM and swam in the C finals at the PAC 12 championship in the 100 back.  Since ending my swimming career, I have obtained my M.Ed in counseling psychology and work full time as a mental health therapist.  While I do not personally swim competitively anymore, I love to teach future swimmers how to get in touch with the water, general safety and most importantly: have fun while doing it!

 I've been swimming ever since I came to the U.S. Swimming has been a big part of my life for more than 12 years and it always will be. It has helped me to stay busy and grow as a person. Now that I don't swim competitively anymore, it doesn't mean I  have to stop swimming, but instead I want to help others learn the sport. Swimming is a healthy activity that you can continue for a lifetime.  I hope I can help kids to learn how to swim in the safe environment of Cyan Swim Academy. Along the way l make it fun, make sure they also get a little workout, and  make new friends.  

I began swimming when I was four years old, and started competing when I was five. Because of the support of my coach and family, and my own dedication to the sport, I started to rank nationally when I was just ten years old and was ranked first in the country when I was fourteen in the 400 IM. I swam with and against many Olympians, and even though I didn’t make it to the Olympics myself, swimming helped me get into dream school: Harvard University. I competed for four years in college and have continued to swim since then as a way to relax and meditate; swimming truly is one of the best forms of exercise, and I love helping others learn this important and beneficial life skill.

 I have been a competitive swimmer for 15 years as a member of a local aquatic club in India and also participated in Asia Pacific international swim meet. I graduated from Kasturba medical college, India. I believe swimming is the best sport which gives the whole body exercise with minimum injury and is suited for all age groups. To me, swimming is a life skill that every individual should acquire and enjoy.

I have been around water since the time I was born. My mom began taking me to swim lessons at the age of 3 and I started the city league swim team at age 8. I was a competitive swimmer for 10 years competing at State Championships and Central Speedo Sectionals in 2010-2013. In 2013 I won the Arkansas State Championship in the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.03 and my relay won the gold medal as well. I was a lifeguard for 4 years during high school and after high school, I began coaching The Aquakids Swim Team. I coached for four years all through my college years. I have a huge passion for swimming and teaching kids water safety and can't wait to make a difference through Cyan Swim Academy!

I swam competitively for past 15 years. I have been to many different countries to train with different coaches around the world and learn as much as I could. I was always interested in expanding my knowledge and be a perfectionist. I started racing in the international stage since 2012 and some of the major international tournaments were Rio Olympics 2016, Fina World Championship, Asian Games, etc. 

Being an Olympian, people wanted me to share my knowledge and passion to their kids so we started organizing summer and winter camps in my country. I loved sharing my knowledge with the little kids. I have always loved teaching people how to swim. 

I was also lucky enough to have attended FINA Coaches clinic (Level 1 & 2).

When I was a little kid I was never afraid of the water. I was always the first one and last one out the water. As the oldest grandchild in my family, I was given the chance to teach while also have fun when they were in the water. Here at Cyan, I love spending time with kids while building a connection and teaching them new skills. It brings me joy and happiness and I would love to share that with them. 

Ever since I joined competitive swim team in elementary school, I’ve spent countless hours in the pool, loving every moment of it. This has led me to believe that swimming is not only a great way to exercise, but an important life skill that everyone should learn. I’m excited to have the opportunity to pass my knowledge onto the many eager young learners to help them love swimming as much as I do!
