Kathy’s love of swimming started as an accident while her mom was training for a triathlon while living in Arizona. She would play in the pool while her mom would swim and was asked to join the club team to not be a liability for the pool. Thankfully it worked out and she was on her way to collecting ribbons and records. After moving to Tulsa, she joined the Jenks Trojan Swim Club. She spent many years swimming for Jenks, and a couple of years at Swim Tulsa. She is a previous team record holder in multiple events, and was part of the 2010 State Championship team for JHS. She swam high school for Jenks all four years, and joined the coaching staff her senior year of high school working with Novice.

Ceci’s enjoyment and love for swimming began at a young age when her parents enrolled her in swim lessons while her older sisters were in swim practice. When she moved to Oklahoma in 2007 she continued lessons at SwimTulsa where she swam as a state champion and sectional swimmer for a swimming career that lasted over 12 years. When reaching the end of her high school career Ceci made the difficult decision to stop swimming and turn down offers to swim in college. Ceci taught swim lessons through SwimAmerica for 5 years as well as SwimTulsa’s ‘white team’ (novice) for 2 years. She started coaching for JTSC when a good friend recommended her as a coach. Ceci was on several Oklahoma Swimming committees throughout her years as a swimmer and helped plan several events throughout the state.
 
Ceci is currently pursuing her B.F.A in Graphic Design at Oral Roberts University.
