Sofia is a 4th grade teacher at Waunakee’s Heritage Elementary, and recent graduate of UW Madison. Her competitive swimming background includes club/varsity in High School, where she was part of a pool record relay team. Post her competitive swim career, Sofia loves triathlons because it combines all her favorite ways to move! Swimming has always been one of the best parts of her day, from swimming her first mile with her mom to high school meets to daily exercise. She can’t wait to pass the sport onto the next generation, while also teaching them the important life skill of swimming.

Grace began swimming at only two years old using a snorkel to explore her pool in Texas. At the age of eight, she moved to Eagle River Wisconsin with her family where she learned how to sail and paddle board on their lake. In 5th grade her affinity for water sports led her to join Lakeland Swim Club. Years later, Grace joined her high school swim team, where she still holds a freestyle relay record with her teammates.

After only two years of high school the pandemic put an end to her swim season, so she decided to graduate as a junior and move onto college. Grace is currently attending the University of Wisconsin - Madison studying political science and public policy. In her free time, Grace loves fishing, downhill skiing, water skiing, kayaking and being outdoors.

During COVID our locker rooms and showers were closed, but now that they have been fully open for a while we are again requiring that all swimmers please take a rinse-off shower before entering the pool. We also ask that parents check their children's swim diapers during and after lessons, and notify us immediately of any accidents. Please also keep an eye on your child during lessons, for any signs that they might need to go to the bathroom. These preventative actions will help keep our chemicals in balance and prevent pool closures.
