PPSC Coach
Brooke Garrett has been swimming since she was 3 years old and has always felt drawn to the water. Like many kids she found her passion for the water on family vacations to Lake Berryessa, Tahoe, and of course her local beach, Linda Mar. She always had to be dragged out of the water after hours of playing with her siblings and more often than not with a bad sunburn. She graduated from the kiddie pool to club teams and in high school found her new passion, water polo. Four years of high school water polo and swim team just went by too fast and now she coaches water polo at her old high school, Terra Nova. She is excited to work with the PPSC swimmers and hopes to spread her love of swimming to her students.
