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. Swimming has not only been a lifesaving skill, it has also created incredible opportunities in international elite level sport, in my personal life, and in my professional life.
Throughout over a decade of award-winning experience in the aquatic industry, I formed an invaluable perspective on what I can do to improve it. This led me to create a solution: Swim Buddies.
I hope that Swim Buddies will spark a ripple of positive experiences in other people’s lives.
Wherever swimming takes you, ‘make waves’!
Sincerely,

Swim Buddies
