This is Kaitlyn's fifth summer on deck coaching for BAT, an
activity she's so enjoyed after swimming for the team for 12 years!
She recently graduated this spring from Florida State
University with degrees in French and Religion. For the past two
years in Tallahassee, she had the experience of coaching age-group
swimmers at Area Tallahassee Aquatic Club, a large, year-round
team. While her time away at school has been awesome, she have
been so looking forward to coming home to you all and to our
one-of-a-kind program! This August, she will be heading north
to attend grad school at Yale University, where she will
continue in the field of biblical studies. Until then,
she is so glad to be able to share her love for the sport
at her home pool this summer. Let’s have a great season! Go
BAT!
