Carter was born and raised in Henrico’s West End, Carter is a NOVA alum. She was an age group swimmer when the first pool was built and swam for NOVA for 8 years. Carter also swam for 12 years in the GRAL for the TVRA Typhoons. She began her coaching career at TVRA, leading the team to their first-ever undefeated season and several top 5 finishes at Champs. After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in Elementary Education, Carter put her degree to work in an unexpected way: her love of swimming led her to begin coaching in the Northern Virginia area. She started with York Swim Club, then moved to Arlington Aquatic Club, where she has been leading several Age Group programs since 2015. During her stint as an age group coach at AAC, she has coached 70+ PVS Junior Olympic qualifiers and multiple NCSA Age Group qualifiers. While assisting with AAC’s Senior Prep group, she also coached a handful of NCSA Junior National Qualifiers. Carter also spent her summers coaching at Washington Golf & Country Club in Arlington, helping to lead the team to an impressive string of eight consecutive undefeated seasons. 

Carter and her husband James have a 15 year-old son, Wade. In her free time, she enjoys reading, exercising and hanging out with her family and their dog; she also delights in watching her son play basketball and lacrosse. Her love of swimming began at NOVA and she is so excited to be coming HOME!
