Hey, my name is Hailey, and I am a student-athlete at LBCC. I moved down here from Oregon about 2 years ago, and I have been coaching for a year and a half. I have been swimming since I was 4 and have always loved the sport. I want Junior Viking to be a fun experience that kids will enjoy while learning the basic techniques of swimming!
Sarah Capt
White Group
Hi my name is Sarah!
I’m a born and raised Long Beach local. I’ve swam competitively since I was 5 years old and started playing water polo at 13.
I was on Varsity swim and water polo at Lakewood High school all 4 years, and I Competed in CIF my sophomore through senior year. I also swam here at Viking since I was 7 years old and played club water polo at Huntington Beach.
I then competed at the collegiate level here at LBCC on both the swim and water polo team.
I am currently starting my first year as a Nursing student at Pacific college where I plan to attain my BSN and soon after transfer into the MSN program.
For fun I really enjoy traveling, boating and off-roading. If I’m not around a pool you’ll probably find me at the lake or in the desert.
Fun fact about me: I got my first dirt bike for my first birthday but I’m also a major girly girl and love all things fashion related.

I am currently working towards my Associates degree in Business Administration and hope to transfer to get my Bachelors degree in Sports Management. My whole life basically involves being at the pool, but when I am not practicing or coaching I love to do crafts, watch movies, attend sporting events, and spend time with my family. Fun fact about me is that I have 5 siblings, one of which swims for Viking right now!
