I love swimming at all levels. Working
with UVRays has been a lot of fun. The swimmers are motivated
and want to keep improving, it makes coaching rewarding. I
started with Springville Seals many years ago and have been with
the team as they merged with
Provo
and became the UVRays.
Many years before that I swam for the Utah Valley Dolphins
and then BYU for 4 years. I have been an assistant swim coach
at BYU for over twenty years, where currently I work with the
sprinters.

Christine Vaughan
swam for 8 years for the UVRays (SSAT) and still continues to swim
on her own time. When she first started swimming her favorite
events were any breaststroke and any distant freestyle. As she got
older she enjoyed backstroke events and I.M. events. Christine competed several times at State meets and out
of state meets. Christine loves swimming so
much she felt it was important to teach others how to swim. She is
now in her 5th year of teaching swim lessons. Last summer Christine coached the
Spanish
Fork
County
team. That following August she joined the
UVrays and has been coaching since.

I love swimming and I love helping people,
young and old, to improve their speed and their strokes. I started
swimming when I was 8 years old and swam for KYAT until I was about
12. I started swimming again my freshman year for Copper Hills High
School and usually competed in the 50 yard Free and the 100 yd
Butterfly. I just started coaching with the UVrays this month and
I'm super excited to get to know all of our amazing
swimmers!
