Swim With Beth is incredibly grateful to all of the coaches that help make the program a success. Below is a list of several of the coaches with the Swim With Beth program. Unfortunately, not all of the coaching staff is featured due to the large number of coaches that work and/or volunteer at SWB. The list below is not exhaustive, and is just to serve as an introduction to several members of the SWB coaching staff.

Rachel has been a coach at SWB for many years, and has worked with swimmers ranging from beginners learning to swim to year-round competitive athletes. Her favorite part of coaching is seeing swimmers develop their love and confidence for the sport. Rachel's fun fact is that she competed at least once in all swim events (including the mile!) by the time she was 11 years old.

She has been coaching since she was 12 and for Swim with Beth since 2021. She loves coaching because she gets to share the sport she loves with kids and foster an environment where they can learn to love the sport, too. Her favorite events are the 100 and 200 breaststroke, as well as the 100 butterfly. Outside of swimming, Aine enjoys cheering for her favorite sports team, Washington Nationals.
