Meet the Team

  • Ryan Huie

    Hey I’m Ryan Huie! Currently a second year swimming for the UC Berkeley club team, and swim instructor since 2020. Breaststroke is my favorite stroke, and the 100 breaststroke is my go to event. I enjoy making each and every lesson a great experience with my decade of swim memories.

  • Parker Del Baso

    Hi! My name is Parker, and I have been teaching swimming and water safety for 2 years. I am an incoming freshman student athlete at the University of Pittsburgh. My favorite stroke is backstroke! The swim community has always been so welcoming to me, and my goal is to extend that welcome to all my students!
