Meet the Saf-T-Swim Riverhead Team

I have been a part of the Aquatics and Sports industry for 24 years. My very first job was as a lifeguard and swimming instructor; so, for me it is full circle and rewarding to be able to recruit, hire, and train professionals in the field. I served as an Aquatics Manager for 8 years for the Department of Parks and Recreation in Jacksonville, Florida where I helped develop the Gus and Goldie Learn to Swim Program. Recently I was the Assistant Company Director for Gateway Sports and Pools where I lead sales and operations in NYC, Albany, and CT. As an Adjunct Professor at Lehman College I lectured in Exercise Science, Motor Learning, and the Behavioral Aspects of Physical Activity. I am also a published research author with a research focus in utilizing sports and physical activity as a vehicle to promote life development during adolescence. I strongly believe there are so many life lessons children can learn during sports participation. I received my MA in Motor Learning from Columbia University, and my BS from Lehman College in Movement and Exercise Science. I am a sports enthusiast having played basketball, soccer, and track and field collegiately. Currently I participate in swimming, volleyball, and golf recreationally; and I am a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt.

I have worked for Saf-T-Swim for 19 years and have been part of the management team for 12. My favorite parts of my job are getting to see my students grow both as people and swimmers and seeing my staff grow in confidence and in life. I have 2 children who are 6 and 7 and am having a blast living life with them. I love to go to the beach and I love to read.

My name is Jessica. I am the manager of the Riverhead location. I have worked for Saf-T-Swim for 14 years! I have twin daughters, who started swimming at Saf-T-Swim at 2 months old! I love working with our families and seeing our swimmers progress and succeed! My favorite season is summer! I love reading and being in the water. I look forward to meeting you!!

My name is Jenna, I'm the supervisor of the Riverhead location. I've been a swim instructor for ten years! I love seeing the children I work with progress, as well as build connections with the family. When I'm not at work I enjoy baking pastries for my friends and families.
