Mission Viejo Nadadores to further his knowledge of teaching and
coaching at the competitive level. With the Nadadores, he
worked closely with many world class coaches including Siga Rose
and Jim Montrella. Bryan’s versatility afforded him
unique opportunities to coach all levels and ages within the
program until settling in as the 10 and under division director in
2005. He has since developed many of the top 10 and under athletes

Coach Kelsey grew up in Spring, Texas and swam competitively
with The Woodlands Swim Team, and for her respective school teams
as well. In fact, during her summers of her high school
years, she coached her neighborhood Summer League Swim Team, and it
was then when her love of swimming grew more dynamic—and she
learned that she loved instructing swimmers as much as she loved
being a swimmer herself!
With almost all of her waking hours spent in the pool practicing
or at the pool coaching others, she developed a love for the
technique of the sport, which translated to developing into Junior
National swimmer, making her cuts in the 50, 100, 200, and 500/400
freestyle events. Kelsey’s dedication to her academics and
her athletics earned her a scholarship to University of Richmond, a
Private Division I University in Virginia. When an illness
took her out of the pool and the classroom freshman year, Kelsey
returned to Texas and finished her undergraduate degree at Sam
Houston State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude with her B.S.
in Food Science and Nutrition, and a Minor in Chemistry. With
no swim team at SHSU, Kelsey had more free time to discover other
passions of her own, and continued coaching the local USA Club
Team. It was an easy decision for her to choose a career in which
she could guide children to learn and grow each day, once she
graduated.
Kelsey was so fortunate to combine her drive to help children
with her love of swimming in her first full-time job. She was hired
as an educator, and at the same time, went back to school to obtain
her Master’s of Education. She taught high school
Science for 4 years, mainly Chemistry, at Klein High School--the
very high school that she attended as a kid. She also coached
the Swimming and Diving Team for the high school, and thought it
such a treat to train her swimmers to break her old team records!
In the summer of 2008, Kelsey moved to California, and has been
working as a Physical Therapy Aide and Personal Trainer at an
Orthopedic Rehab Clinic in San Clemente for the past few years.
Throughout this time, she has felt very compelled to return to her
roots of coaching, and as so thrilled to now be a part of the
world-renowned Nadadores. She hopes to bring her knowledge of
swimming, nutrition, education, and physical therapy as tools to
help her train the 13-14 Silver Group, assist the Women’s
National Group, and to instruct her beginners in the Swim School.
Coach Kari has worked for the Nadadores since
2007. She has coached Novice, 8 & Under, 10 & Under, and

demeanor; she has a unique ability to relate to her

Mission Viejo Nadadores Swim School and Wild Child Water
Play. Coach Kari is an avid athlete and enjoys
kayaking, paddleboard, surfing and open water
swimming.
Swimming and being on a
pool deck have always been a part of Coach Abbey’s
life. As young girl she was on a community swim team called
the Stingrays. She swam competitively with the Stingrays for five
years and then tried her hand at dance team. Coach Abbey was on a
competition dance team for three years and had fun but never as
much as she did in the water. In high school Coach Abbey went back
to swim, lifeguarding, and coaching, which carried on into college.
Coach Abbey swam with Saddleback College for a season but she had
to take a break due to shoulder surgery. Coach Abbey is
slowly getting back in the water learning new techniques.
Coach Abbey is passionate about coaching with the Nadadores and is
inspired by her athlete’s commitment.
