About
Coach Shannon has been teaching swimming lessons since 2021, starting with her friends’ kids and quickly discovering a love for helping swimmers feel confident in the water. Coach Shannon loves being around water because it brings her a sense of peace, and she believes the ocean is full of magic since you never know what you might discover beneath the surface. When she’s not teaching lessons, she’s doing marine biology research in a lab at ODU or snuggling up with her dog.
