Jessica began swimming at the age of five and swam competitively through high school earning the title of captain during her senior year. Through high school and during her college breaks, she worked as a lifeguard and taught swim lessons to children with all levels of swim ability. As an adult, Jess fell in love with swimming all over again competing in triathlons and participating on adult masters teams in the city. She has multiple years coaching a charity triathlon team and volunteers as a coach for open water swim clinics. As an instructor and a coach, her goal is always to create a space where everyone feels welcome and is set up for success
