The Team
Mallory T.
Water-Safety Mentor
Go Vols! I’m a TN native who has always wanted to go to UT, so I am thankful to be pursuing a degree in Business Management at UTK. I have been a lifeguard for several summers. Also, I have many years of experience in gymnastics as both an athlete and coach. I started coaching gymnastics at age 14! I am excited to apply my coaching skills from gymnastics, such as dealing with fear, to instructing swim lessons. I look forward to helping your family be safer around water!
Fun Fact: I was the offensive MVP for my lacrosse team for 2 years.
Zoe H.
Water-Safety Mentor
I am a Nutrition major at the University of TN planning to pursue Pediatric Nursing as a career. I’m also from Wisconsin, but you could only tell by the way I say “Wisconsin”. I have been a camp counselor where I helped children with special needs learn to ride horses. I had never worked with horses before being a camp counselor, but it was a blast! I’m excited to continue to make an impact in kids’ lives through swim lessons!
Fun Fact: I can sign in ASL.

Can’t wait to see you this summer!

I moved to Knoxville my last year of high school and will be attending BYU to major in Speech Pathology. I swam for my local swim team for 8 years, completing my career at the TN State Swimming Championship. I love to create, especially baking cakes.

Katie S.

I am passionate about working out, staying healthy, and helping people of all ages. So, I plan to become a Physical Therapy Assistant by completing my degree in Kinesiology at UTK to align all my passions. I had the opportunity to work at a summer vacation center where I led kids in activities like crafts, treasure hunts, horse rides, and tubing down a river! I’m thrilled to have the chance to help more people by teaching you and your children how to swim!
Fun Fact: I was part of the state champion cheer team in Utah.

I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee finishing my degree in Speech Pathology. I participated in a year-long internship at a school for children with disabilities, which was one of the best experiences of my life! I plan to continue working with kids with disabilities after I graduate. I have worked as a lifeguard at a waterpark. In high school, I was a competitive swimmer. I am excited to use my experiences with a wide variety of people to help my students learn to swim!

Jacqueline C.
Communications
I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor’s in Hispanic Studies. I also completed my Master’s Degree at UTK in Education and taught Spanish for 3 years before having our daughter. I took swim lessons every summer growing up and loved spending time with friends and family in the pool, lake, and ocean. I don’t remember a time where I wasn’t able to swim or didn’t feel safe in the water. I am thankful to get to work with all of you to answer any questions and get you swimming!
Fun Fact: I am fluent in Spanish.

I don’t remember my dad teaching me to swim because I was so young. I swam in summer swim leagues most of my life under the coaching of my dad. I also started teaching people to swim with my dad in 2009. I eventually swam for the University of TN NCAA DI Swim Team. I have a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology, a Master’s in Special Education, and 5 years of Special Education teaching experience under my belt. I am passionate about water safety and look forward to helping you meet your swimming goals!
Fun Fact: I set the Shelby County Record in the 50 Yard Breaststroke.
Swimmy
Water Safety Advocate
I was found outside near the pool one day. Ever since, I has been a part of the All Knox Swim family! Unlike most cats, I love to swim. I didn’t like it at first, but grew to love it! While I was taking lessons with All Knox Swim, I learned all about swimming and water safety. Ever since then, I love teaching kids about being safe in the water!
Fun Fact: I have blue marks on my tail. Learn more here!
