Membership Director, Marketing Coordinator & Personal Trainer

"My goal has always been simple - meet people where they are, help them discover what they are capable of, and build a community where everyone feels like they belong."

Aquatics Director

Martha Martin

"The greatest reward isn't teaching a child to swim-it's knowing that the skills you taught them may one day save their life. After 18years, my dedication continues to make waves in our community"

Personal Trainer

Child Watch Coordinator

Nicole Rae

 "Fitness is not about being better than someone else — it's about being better than you were yesterday. That's why I show up every day to help you achieve just that."  

Child Watch Coordinator

Child Watch Coordinator

Skylar Sherry 

"Every craft, every story, every smile - this is more than a program, it's a little world where kids get to just be kids. I wouldn't trade it for anything." 

Child Watch Coordinator

Abby Roehm

"Creating fun memories with the kids through crafts, games and activities is priceless. Seeing their creativity come to life, watching them laugh and have fun, and knowing they look forward to coming to Child Watch makes my heart happy. Every child brings something special, and I'm grateful I get to be a part of their day!" 

Day Camp Coordinator

Senior Wellness Coordinator

Brittney Boaz

"Camp isn't just a summer program - it's a world where kids can be free, grow without limits, and discover just how incredible they truly are."

Senior Wellness Coordinator

Jessica Heath

 "Some days we work on strength, some days we work on balance — but my favorite days are the ones where they pull up a chair and share their stories. I learn just as much from them as they do from me."
