Alena Beckmann: Hello! I’m Alena Beckmann, and I’m writing in order to advertise my swim instructor services. I’m 17 years old and a rising senior at Eleanor Roosevelt High School. I’ve been swimming on the Adelphi swim team every year, since I was 4 years old, and have participated in club swimming with UMAC. In addition, I have been lifeguarding at Adelphi for three years, since I was 14 years old. I enjoy working with kids, and care for them frequently in my church’s nursery, and would love to teach swim lessons at Adelphi.

Austin Rider: Hi! My name is Austin and I am the assistant head coach of the Adelphi Dolphins swim team. This is my fifth season with Adelphi and my eleventh season coaching summer swim. I also coach year-round with Machine Aquatics and am finishing my fifth year with the team at our UMD site. I am excited to work with kids to refine their strokes and help grow their confidence!

Georgia King: Hi! My name is Georgia and I’m a year-round club swimmer at Machine Aquatics. I have been swimming since I was 8 years old and have been on Adelphi’s swim team for 5 years. I have coaching experience as a captain of Adelphi’s swim team, a volunteer for Machine’s Developmental Stroke Mechanics program, and a swim lesson instructor this past year. 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 with lots of availability, so please feel free to reach out!
