Chelsea
Billings - Novice
Coach
Chelsea
is a graduating senior from
Sehome
High School
, and will be attending
Western
Washington
University
in the fall. She
was captain the year her high school team won the state
title.
Chelsea
was a seven-year member of BBST, starting in the novice
group and working her way up through the seniors. She
has also worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor at
both Arne Hanna and Bayside Swim Club.
Chelsea
is an extremely friendly and outgoing person, and open
communication is a top priority for her. Her
number one goal is to have fun, while at the same time
building solid foundations in areas such as stroke work,
flip turns, and technique, which all are key ingredients
in the recipe for a successful swimming career.
Some of the fondest memories
Chelsea
has are during her participation with BBST. During her
time with BBST she has gained self-confidence,
goal-setting skills, and dear friends.
“I see being the
novice coach as a way for me to give back to BBST-ers of
the future all that I have been so fortunate to receive,
and I cherish the opportunity to do so. It
is my goal to continue that positive experience and help
all of you get the most out of it that you can. Swimming
is a wonderful sport and we have an incredible group of
people here on BBST. So much potential, so many
possibilities lie before each and every one of you!
I can’t wait to get to know you all and help
you discover what you can do.”
