Marissa Brown
Hi! My name is Marissa, and I will be helping out with the swim team this year. With my past 12
years in aquatics, I’ve swam for Adelphi’s swim team, swam club with Machine Aquatics,
lifeguard at the University of Maryland, taught swim lessons, etc. I want to be able to give back
my experience to kids who are seeking a boost in confidence when it comes to being in the
pool. I want to see them develop into stronger and comfortable swimmers, along with building
relationships with them! I want to see them grow as well as have fun doing it. You can reach me at 301-708-9265.
Georgia King
Hi! My name is Georgia and I’ve been swimming since I was 8 years old. I was on Adelphi’s
swim team for 5 years and swam with Machine Aquatics for 6 years. I have coaching
experience as a captain of Adelphi’s team, a volunteer for Machine’s Developmental Stroke
Mechanics program, and a swim lesson instructor for the past two years. My priorities are
ensuring comfort in the water and ability to perform basic stroke mechanics, but I always take
into account the personal goals of the swimmer to make sure they have fun along the way! I
have a flexible schedule, so please feel free to reach out at 202-701-9886!
Annika Olson
Hello! My name is Annika Olson. I am 16 and a rising Junior at St. John’s College High school. I
have been a member at Adelphi my whole life and a dolphin on the swim team since I was 6. I
have also been a year-round swimmer at Machine Aquatics since I was 7, and I am a high
school swimmer for St. John’s. I have a lot of experience in all strokes, but breaststroke has
always been my best. I love kids and work as a counselor at Impulse City during the summer. I
am hoping to give back and help kids learn how to swim and/or develop their swimming
technique. If you have any questions or would like to set up a lesson, you can text me at 301-

Hi! I’ve been on the Adelphi Dolphins for 15 years as well as a year-round competitive swimmer

to swim as a Division I athlete. I’ve coached new and experienced swimmers to improve their
stroke technique, as well as their starts and turns, at Adelphi and in Machine’s Developmental
Stroke Mechanics. I’ve learned the best ways to help kids feel comfortable in the water while
making sure they have fun. I’ve given lessons at Adelphi and served as a team captain for four
seasons. You can reach me at 240-917-4147.
