Hello, my name is Elizabeth but most people call me Liz or Coach Liz I am new resident of the Olmsted Falls area. My partner and I just purchased a home that we share with our 14 pets. We have four dogs, four cats, two ferrets, two chickens, a bunny and a leopard gecko. I just have a lot of love to give!
I have worked in a pool setting nearly my entire life, helping my mother teach swim lessons as well as run and aquatic program at an indoor and outdoor pool. I was a synchronized swimmer for 11 years. I’ve been a lifeguard for 17 years I’m also experienced in Zumba and water aerobics , basically any job at a pool you could have I have done it and loved every moment of it!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my animals, cooking, singing and dancing. I also have an events business, where my heart truly lies. I love to host! Being in the service and hospitality industry the last 17 years has given me a passion to work with the public - knowing I can make their day just a little brighter is music to my ears!
I was lucky enough to find Liquid lifestyles just by being in close proximity to my home! I’m very excited to be a part of the team and bring my swimming expertise to others in the community. I enjoy working with all ages. Being able to see their progress is something that is extremely gratifying, and I hope that my position here will help others in the community to swim and be confident in doing so. I can’t wait to meet you and bring your family the joy of swimming!
