Melissa Rhodes
Coach

Melissa grew up loving, respecting and sometimes fearing water. Originally from San Diego, she dabbled in surfing, she swam and dove in high school, competitively swam and played water polo in college and made her best swim times with U.S. Masters Swimming.  Many moons later she became a mother and passed her love for the water onto her wonderfully excitable and independent children. Naturally, her love for swim, for kids and for water safety lead her to take the plunge into becoming a USA Swimming coach as well as a certified survival swim instructor. She strives to provide the best swim instruction by keeping her certifications and skills current and relevant.  Now get swimming... and floating!
