Drawing on her competitive background, military service, and educational foundation in Houston, Coach Leah will provide versatile swim instruction for athletes of all ages, from infancy through adulthood. While she is originally from the Hill Country, she moved to Houston for college, fell in love with coaching, and earned my Master of Education at the University of Houston. Her swim instructing experience ranges from guiding toddlers through their first water safety milestones to being certified to lead rigorous Army combat water training for soldiers. Leah is ready to make a splash by focusing on the technical mechanics and resilient mindset that lead to true mastery. She is excited to be a part of the Rush team as an Assistant Coach!

Samantha has been coaching competitive swimming since 2006. A San Antonio native, she began her coaching career at Alamo Area Aquatics immediately after graduating high school, continuing in that role throughout her college years.

In 2011, Samantha relocated to Austin and joined Great Hills Country Club, where she was instrumental in founding and launching the Great Hills Aquatic Rush (RUSH) swim team. As the creator and driving force behind RUSH, Samantha has played a pivotal role in shaping the program’s philosophy, structure, and success—both on deck and behind the scenes.

Her coaching experience spans all ages and skill levels, from teaching swim lessons to 3-year-olds, to training high school competitors and adult athletes. She is also passionate about athlete development beyond the pool, frequently integrating CrossFit methodology into the team’s dryland training to enhance overall strength, mobility, and performance.
