Coach Liz brings a lifelong love of the water to the Hickam Hurricanes. She grew up swimming and playing water polo at the club, high school, and collegiate levels, and still stays connected to the sport through Masters swimming. Simply put—if it’s in the water, she’s all in.

As Head Coach, Liz leads our swimmers with a focus on confidence, growth, and team connection. She believes every athlete—whether they’re just starting out or chasing state cuts—deserves to feel supported, challenged, and part of something bigger. Her goal is to help each swimmer not only improve in the pool, but also build resilience, friendships, and a love for the sport that lasts.

Liz has a special heart for the military community, understanding firsthand how important it is to create a sense of belonging when families are far from home. She’s helped grow the team into a strong, welcoming ohana where swimmers and families can connect, support each other, and make lasting memories.

When she’s on deck, you’ll find her encouraging swimmers to push a little harder, celebrate the wins (big and small), and remember to have fun along the way.

Real Bio Coming Soon!

Coach Liz began her swimming career at the age of 7 — mostly because her older brother was swimming. She quickly fell in love with the sport and racing. She competed at the highest levels of Canadian swimming for over 14 years, earning full athletic scholarships to both Indian River State College and Clemson University. In 2004 she competed in 7 events at the Canadian Olympic Trials and finaled in the 100-meter Butterfly. She began coaching at age 15 and has continued coaching part-time for many clubs. After stepping away to raise her children, the love for swimming brought her back.

Coach Davin brings energy and heart to every session on deck. She coaches our competitive groups and also leads the team's introductory and advanced swim lessons, helping swimmers of all levels build confidence and skills in the water. Her ability to connect with kids and make practice both challenging and fun makes her a valued part of the Hurricanes coaching staff.
