Coach Riley

​​​​

 

 

My swim journey started in 2019 when I moved from California to South Carolina. As a homeschooled kid in a brand new place, I was searching for connection—and I found it in the water. I traded my surfboard for swim goggles and fell in love with competitive swimming in 2020.

 

Since then, I’ve had the honor of swimming on Y-Spartaquatics Swim Club’s National Team while also breaking records and earning MVP titles with the Forrester Woods SAIL team. I swam varsity for Woodmont High School, where I was a four-year MVP, all-region champion, state medalist, and still hold six school records.

 

Now, I swim Division I at Rider University in New Jersey, studying Exercise Science with plans to become a Physical Therapist, open my own practice, and grow Freedom Swimming into something great.

 

I founded Freedom Swimming in 2022 and have had the joy of coaching dozens of swimmers of all ages and skill levels. In 2025, I’m also proud to serve as Assistant Head Coach for the Forrester Woods SAIL Team.

You’ll find me at Neely Farm and Forrester Woods this summer. I also offer travel lessons for families who prefer to work at home or in their neighborhood pools.​
