Ms. Cassie

My name is Ms. Cassie. I have a degree in special education and a passion for swimming. I was a lifeguard for three years and have taught swim lessons for almost two years now. I have worked with students as young as 18 months all the way up to 70 years young! My heart is to help anyone reach their swim goals.

I also have a wonderful husband of 10 years and six amazing kiddos! I love sewing, knitting and crocheting in my free time. I am always ready to learn something new. I cannot wait to meet you and learn all about you!

Ms. Holly

I'm Ms. Holly, the new swim instructor at HFSA. I'm very excited to be joining the team and getting to work with all the amazing families, Ms. Cassie has told me so much about! A little background on me. I've been teaching swim lessons for 20 years. My Aquatics experience started back in college and progressed into a career with Life Time Fitness (2007-2018). After starting a family, my husband and I made the difficult decision for me to stay home with the boys (Henry 8yrs, and Harrison 5yrs). Now that they are older and more independent, I'm thrilled to be back in the water teaching. I look forward to meeting you all and seeing you at the pool this summer!

Ms. Amber

Hi! I’m Amber. I am super excited to be part of the Hocken Family Swim Academy. I have loved the water since I was little - my family used to call me a dolphin growing up! I am so excited to be a part of helping your swimmers grow. 💚

A little bit about me: I have two kiddos, two dogs, a fish, and lots of plants! When I’m not in the pool, I work in financial services, enjoy gardening, and spending time with furry friends! We live in the local community and are always out and about. Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Ms. Rachel

Hi! My name is Rachel. I am going to be filling in for Ms. Holly and Ms. Cassie. I’ve loved being in the water ever since I was a little girl. I love being around children of all ages and have experience working with children at an elementary aged level who are autistic. I often help Ms. Cassie watch her amazing children and it always brings me so much joy!

I myself have an amazing six-year-old son. During the summer months we are constantly in the water. He is self-taught, by myself and of course Ms. Cassie, the safety and skills to be a great and safe swimmer.
