Lauren Hartley

Subsitute Coach

I started synchronized swimming at the age of eight. I had always loved the water and synchro proved to be the perfect fit for me. I was an athlete for eight years, competing nationally for five of them. At the National Championships in both 2005 and 2006, my combo team placed second. I retired in 2006, which was very difficult because it was such a big part of my life. Synchro taught me so much and helped mold me into the person I am today. Coaching has allowed me to stay involved in the sport, as well as help and watch a new generation of girls fall in love with it.
