Coach A’s Swim Academy LLC - Founder
It all begins with a splash. Maybe your child is dipping their toes in for the first time. Maybe they’re ready to take their swimming to the next level. With Coach A, that first splash can lead to confidence, skill, and a lifelong love for the water.
Kentucky Aquatics - Assistant Coach (5 years)
I specialize in early-age snorkel training starting as young as 3 years old, as well as stroke refinement, starts, and turn clinics. I’m passionate about helping young swimmers build confidence, master technique, and develop a lifelong love for the water.
Private Lessons (8 years)
I have conducted personal, in-depth technique clinics at home for my age group swimmers at Kentucky Aquatics. Additionally, I have taught many young children to swim, overcoming their fears of the water, diving, and proper snorkel use.
I am originally from Istanbul, Turkey, where my love for swimming began at age 7 with the prestigious Galatasaray Swim Club. At age 12, I earned a full scholarship to train with the Elite Enka Swim Team and went on to compete in the Junior Nationals in Turkey. My passion for the sport soon led me to coaching, where I gained valuable experience teaching age-group swimmers at TED Club.
A life-changing opportunity brought me to the United States through a scholarship from the University of Kentucky, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics in 2001. After graduation, I served as a math teacher in the Fayette County Public School System before transitioning into the banking industry, where I worked for 13 years with institutions such as Chase, BB&T, and PNC.
Though my career path has been diverse, my heart has always remained in the water.
Kentucky has truly been a blessing for my family and I. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for swimming with the next generation.
