She coached for Splash for ten years since its formation and then moved to California where she coached the Cerritos Synchronettes for five years. Melanie and her husband, Tom, then moved back to Colorado where she currently resides. She has been swimming masters since 1997 with both Splash and the Southern California Unsyncables.

| Katy Tussey | Katy Tussey has been involved in synchronized swimming for 15 years now. She began at the age of 7 when she joined the Colorado Sea Stars (formerly the Jeffco Y Starfish). While swimming with the Sea Stars, she was lucky enough to be able to participate in the US Open and 2002 National Team Trials. After leaving for college, Katy coached for the Sea Stars until the team dissolved in 2003. Now she is proud to be coaching Splash as well as swimming for the Splash Masters and having a great time. Katy coaches the 13-15 Age Group team (Teal Team). |
| Debi Marshall | Debi started synchro in 1971 at summer camp where the routines were written to camp songs and the only sound system at the lake was the other campers singing. She joined the Dallas Sea Spins for three years competing in association, regional, zone and national meets. Throughout the eighties, Debi spread the sport in various summer programs in Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, and here in Colorado. She entered both the National Masters and World Aquatic Masters Championships in 1993 as an independent soloist. After three years in Germany and three years in North Dakota (and 6 years away from swimming) Debi is back in Colorado and very happy to be coaching with Rocky Mountain Splash. Debi coaches the 11-12 Intermediate team (Silver Team). |
