The Team
Sara Kate A.

I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee finishing my degree in Speech Pathology.ย I participated in a year-long internship at a school for children with disabilities, which was one of the best experiences of my life!ย I hope to continue working with kids with disabilities after I graduate. I have worked as a lifeguard at a waterpark. I also taught swim lessons before coming to All Knox Swim.ย 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!
Fun Fact: I can sign in ASL.

I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelorโs in Hispanic Studies. I also completed my Masterโs 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 donโt remember a time where I wasnโt able to swim or didnโt 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.

Lead Water-Safety Mentor
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 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.
