Miranda Bow
Teal Team Coach

Kayla Allen
Silver Team Coach
Coach 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 Rolf
Rec Team Coach
Coach 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!
