Behind Swim Buddies
Hello there, my name is Catalina and I am so happy you are here!
Swim Buddies has been a passion project of mine, to give back to the aquatics community that has given so much to me. Knowing how to swim has not only been a lifesaving skill, it has also created incredible experiences in elite level sport, in my professional life, and in my personal life.
I started taking swimming lessons before I could walk, which is where my love of water began. Upon mastering swim lessons, my parents enrolled me into a new challenge: Artistic Swimming. I learned new complex skills, performed routines in front of crowds, and made lifelong friends. I also credit my time in Artistic Swimming for teaching me discipline and creativity. After 10 wonderful years in artistic swimming, I transitioned into triathlon, where I had the honour of qualifying to be on Team Canada for three consecutive years. This allowed me to compete on an international stage in three ITU World Championship events, travel, meet new friends from around the world, and gain valuable life skills. In addition to all of this, knowing how to swim has exposed me to countless personal adventures including, swimming in the ocean, white water rafting, enjoying a lake day, and joining fun pool days with friends.
Throughout these incredible experiences, it was clear to me that I wanted to continue my enthusiasm for sport and recreation in my professional life as well. I furthered my studies at the University of Ottawa, specializing in Human Kinetics. While being a student athlete, I worked as a Head lifeguard, Swimming Instructor and Aquatic Manager at various pools. Throughout more than a decade working in the aquatic industry, I gained an invaluable perspective on how I can improve it.
Knowing how to swim has, undoubtedly, caused a positive ripple effect in my life. I hope that Swim Buddies will spark positive experiences in others’ lives. Wherever swimming takes you, ‘make waves‘!
Sincerely,
Swim Buddies
