My name is Claire Copeland! I was born and raised in Danville, Ca! I went to the University of Oklahoma and now I will be attending grad school at Cal State East Bay studying Kinesiology with a focus in Sports Psychology this upcoming Fall!
I have been a dedicated swimmer for most of my life. I started swimming for Crow Canyon Country Club at the age of 7 until the age of 17. One of my proudest accomplishments is I qualified for county every year. In addition I swam three years at Monte vista high school! I competed in butterfly, breaststroke, and freestyle.
I am very excited for this upcoming season and getting the opportunity to meet everyone!

Hi, my name is Coach Kalen. I’m 15 years old and I’ve been swimming with Livorna since I was 6 years old, which makes this year my 10th year with the team! My best strokes are freestyle and backstroke, although I have a lot of experience with swimming breaststroke as well. Outside of swimming I really enjoy going on bike rides, playing video games, and having fun with my friends.
