Travis Country Swim Club

Hello Travis Country Sharks! I am Coach Rachel, a long-time member of the TC community. This season will be my 25th year with the Sharks: my 12th year coaching. I was born and raised here in Austin Texas. My passion for swimming began through this summer league program at the age of 6, and continued every year until I could not compete! During this time I also spent four years with Longhorn Aquatics age group swimming, while also competing for Austin High. More recently I have been an on and off master’s swimmer with Austin Swim Club. When I am not coaching the sharks I am a high school math teacher here in AISD.

Summer league swimming is about learning the foundations and mechanics of the sport of swimming; improving strokes and personal times; and having fun in a supportive community unlike any other! Please reach out with any questions you may have. I am looking forward to a fun-filled summer! - Coach Rachel
