Abbie Fish Assistant Coach

Abbie joined Triton Swimming in 2019 after 25 years of success in competitive swimming and 10+ years and counting of elite swim coaching. During her swimming career, Abbie was a 6x Olympic Trial Qualifier, SEC Finalist, NCAA Qualifier, and 2x USA Junior National Champion. On top of that, Abbie started coaching as she was post-graduately training and it was a natural transition from being the one in the water - to - the one on deck.

Abbie is a University of Georgia "Double Dawg" - where she swam and graduated with her M.S. and B.S. degrees in Exercise Science. Abbie is a big swimming nerd at heart, and loves everything when it comes to stroke mechanics, underwater video, and swimming technique. In conjunction with coaching at Triton, Abbie runs her own online company called: Swim Like A. Fish -- where she helps any swimmer (no matter their age) get faster through technique education.
