Ciara Baker – Senior Coach
Hi there! I’m Ciara, and I’m really proud to be the Senior Coach here at Mini Swimming.
Working with children is my passion, and I adore being in the water. I used to beg to go swimming almost every day as a child! Mini Swimming doesn’t feel like a job at all—I have so much fun and get to do what I love. I’ve learned so much over the years at Mini Swimming and love being part of a team that shares my love of swimming with our swimmers and their families.
Mini Swimming isn’t just a regular swimming school—it truly feels like a family, and I get so excited to see the teachers, swimmers, and their families each day!
