Hi, I'm Coach Gaby! I started swimming when I was 7 years old and quickly fell in love with the water. I joined a swim team, later played water polo, and swam competitively all through high school at a Division 1 school. After graduating, I continued my passion for aquatics by working as a lifeguard for Los Angeles City Aquatics, where I also had the joy of teaching both kids and adults how to swim. Swimming has been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe every child should feel safe in the water and discover the joy of swimming. My goal as a coach is to help kids build confidence, improve their skills, and most importantly--- have fun while learning to love the sport.

I was a high diver when I was 7 and ended up stopping a few years later when I moved back to California, so I have been around swimming for a very long time. I was then convinced by a PE coach at my middle school to try out for water polo. I loved it and I ended up playing both JV and varsity as a freshman and then varsity for the remaining years. I enjoyed water polo so much, so I continued swimming and was on varsity as a freshman and have been on varsity and one of the top swimmers on my team since joining. 

Certifications: CPR/ AED Basic Life Support.
