Coach A’ilana was born in Santa Monica but grew up in Florida and Colorado, where she began her swimming career. A’ilana was in the water before she could walk, and she swam competitively with USA Swimming for seven years. She also swam four years with her high school, earning both Most Valuable Player and Coach’s Award twice. While swimming with her club team, she began helping younger age group swimmers with technique, where she realized her love of coaching.
A’ilana comes to TSM Aquatics with experience coaching all ages and skill levels, ranging from 3 months old to competitive high school swimmers, and is now in her third year of coaching with TSM Aquatics. She wants to instill a lifelong love of swimming in all her athletes.
