Andrea started synchro at age 7 with the South Suburban Tarpons in southeast Colorado. At age 10, she moved to the Heather Ridge Aurorians where she competed until she was 17 years old (the Tarpons and the Aurorians eventually merged to form Rocky Mountain Splash). During her competitive years, Andrea competed nationally at National Age Group (NAG) and Junior Olympics, taking her 14-15 duet all the way to Finals at NAG and placing in the top 10. She was also a member of the Olympic “C” Team -- a traveling team which promoted synchronized swimming in the Olympic Games.

She still competes with the Rocky Mountain Splash Masters who have taken 1st place in their category multiple years in a row!

At age 14, she coached the summer league team at Crestmoor Community Association in Denver and continued to coach there for 5 years. Her coaching career continued in Des Moines, Iowa with the Des Moines Aquamaids during her college breaks. When she graduated from college and moved to Arizona, she became Head Coach at Scottsdale Synchro where she stayed for 3 years before moving back to Colorado and coaching at Skyline Acres during her summer breaks from teaching.

 
Andrea’s coaching philosophy is to instill a love of the sport first and success will follow. She tries to create a fun atmosphere at every practice and stays tuned in to the energy she gets back from the girls to make sure she’s on the right track.

Coach Miranda started swimming when she was 9 years old. She found the sport through Girl Scouts when a mom from another troop was sequining a swim suit. She went to a try it one day and was hooked. Her younger twin sister joined her and a month later they competed at their first meet!

Miranda is a middle school teacher and has an amazing supportive husband and son. She previously swam at the University of Arizona and competed at high levels in the sport, taking second at the National Championship with her team.

She has coached for Splash since she was 14 years old; and, has coached for a total of 18 years. She is grateful for her amazing experience swimming for RMS and is glad she can pass on her love of the sport!

Kayla started swimming at age 3 and joined a summer league swim team that her mom coached at Pirate's Cove, at the age of 5. Throughout life, she has done a variety of different sports (speed swimming, dance, gymnastics, tae kwon do, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and cross country), but didn't really stick with any of them because she just didn't feel a connection to those sports. 

It wasn't until age 9 when she joined synchro, that she really felt at home. Synchro was different than the other sport because it was a combination of dance, gymnastics, and swimming, plus she got to get lifted and lift other people, which Kayla really enjoyed! She has always loved swimming and messing around in the water, and synchro gave her the ability to do that. Kayla was able to be just as creative in the water, as she was out of the water. Since she started synchro at age 9, she's only ever swam for Rocky Mountain Splash.

Kayla is now going into her 9th and final year of synchro and not only will she be swimming, but she will be coaching the silver team, along with her sister, Avi!

Grace started swimming when she was eight years old! She loved the sport and the uniqueness of being able to tell people she was a synchronized swimmer. Grace was hooked on the community and joy she found in synchro and hasn’t looked back since!

She started her coaching journey two years ago while she was in between swimming, playing soccer, and looking for a job. Once she started coaching, Grace fell in love with the connections she was able to make with the girls, and the art she was able to make with their routines.

She loves being able to create a swimmer led coach supported atmosphere, where girls can be creative and just have fun during the winter season!
