Hello! My name is Coach Elsi and I’m excited to be returning as a coach for my second year on the team!! I started swimming when I was 5 years old and have grown to absolutely love the sport.

My favorite thing about summer league has to be seeing all the kids having fun and enjoy their summer doing a sport they love!
