Our Coaches
I bring a wealth of knowledge and competitive experience to the pool deck, having grown up swimming competitively back in New York. That’s really where I developed my lifelong passion for the sport, and my personal favorite strokes to swim and teach are definitely the butterfly and backstroke.
As a Level 2 USA Swimming coach, I place a huge emphasis on the breakdown of stroke and technique. I love working with swimmers to fine-tune their mechanics so they can find more power and efficiency in every lap.
I’ve been coaching youth swimming for over 28 years now, building a diverse background across several different competitive programs over the years. Now entering my eighth season leading the Lenexa Lazers, I am absolutely thrilled to kick off another exciting, fun, and successful summer of swimming!
Hi, I’m Halee. I’ve been swimming for 14 years and competed with Western Colorado University’s Women’s Swim Team, Mill Valley High School's Swim Team, the Bonner Springs Ducks, the Shawnee Sharks, and the Kansas City Blazer's National Team. My main stroke is breaststroke. This summer marks my forth year coaching with the Lazers and my fifth year of swim instruction. I’m excited to continue sharing my passion for swimming and helping swimmers grow in and out of the water!
