Trinity Patron

My name is Trinity Patron and I am a third year at UCSB. I grew up in the water. I have always felt like it was my second home. I swam competitively and played water polo for about nine years. I have been teaching and lifeguarding for about 4 years now. Teaching kids how to swim has become such a passion of mine! I love being able to be a part of a program like Santa Barbara Aquatics where I can watch my students improve and develop a love for swimming.

Vivien Nieto

Hey! I’m Vivien and I am first-year Economics major at UCSB! I started swimming competitively at the age of 9 and played competitive water polo once I entered high school. I also participated in the junior lifeguard program growing up where I eventually began teaching ocean safety and how to swim in the ocean. It is very rewarding for me to be a part of kids journeys in learning to swim because it is where I fell in love with swim and everything that has to do with being in the water!

Allie Hughs

Hey I'm Allie! I grew up swimming and playing water polo and have always had a passion for the water. I started coaching swim lessons in highschool and also worked as a daycare assistant For three years. I was hired at Santa Barbara Aquatics in December 2021 and have absolutely loved getting to know the kids and learning even more techniques to teach all levels of swimming!

Cael Hill

Hi, my name is Cael Hill. I am an engineering major at Santa Barbara City College and a first year there as well.  In my free time I really enjoy swimming in the ocean, skating, and playing basketball at the park. I love to learn and teach and I like to create a positive environment to do so in. I have been lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons for 2 years now and have been having an amazing time doing so. Since I’ve been working at Santa Barbara Aquatics Ive noticed that the program makes sure all students improve in skill, have fun, and are included in activities,  which is how I like to teach as well! I look forward to guiding the kids through water safety and good swim skills!
