Hi my name is Aivia Gimarc and I am returning for my third year on the coaching staff. The BCC Sharks Swim Team is my extended family and I am so excited to be a part of it again! I have my sights set on a Psychology degree and to continue onto graduate school. I recently completed my sophomore year at The University of Texas at San Antonio. I started swimming with the BCC Sharks when I was 6 years old and continued to swim for the Sharks for 12 consecutive seasons. I swam year-round for 8 years on USA Swimming club teams, as well as 4 years on the award-winning Westwood High School Varsity Swim Team. As a senior in high school, I served as the girl's team captain. Some of my favorite activities are swimming (of course), going to the beach, live music shows, and Scrabble.

Hi my name is Katie Armus Westbrook. I recently got married in December to a wonderful Marine who is now attending college at ACC. My husband’s name is Tyler Westbrook and we love living in Austin Texas. I coached Sharks for three years as an assistant coach and one year as the assistant head coach. When I was young I was also a Shark. Sharks was the beginning of
my swimming career. In addition to swimming for the Sharks, I made the Westwood high school swim team and swam for all four years for the Lady Warriors. I graduated from the University of
the Incarnate Word with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I also swam for the UIW Cardinals, where I made All Conference in the 200 Fly. I am very excited to be back coaching the Sharks. The Sharks is a great team and I look forward to meeting you all. Go Sharks!!

Hello, my name is Keldon Lou and this is my second year coaching for the Sharks. I recently finished my freshman year at the University of Texas at Austin where I am majoring in Actuarial Science & Mathematics. I swam for the Westwood swim team and was a District and Regional Finalist in the 100 fly and 50 free. I was an Academic All-American, Academic All-State, and part of the TISCA All-State Team. I also swam for six years at Nitro Swimming and was a TAGS and Sectionals qualifier. I look forward to working with everyone this season.

My name is Megan Moody and I am returning for my second season as a Sharks coach. I went to Westwood High School and swam there all four years, for Texas Gold for 8 years, and I was a Sharks swimmer for 11 years. I am very passionate about swimming and hope to inspire all of the kids to love swimming as much as I did when I was a little Shark and still do. I attend the University of Texas at Austin where I plan to double major in biology and psychology and eventually go on to be a psychiatrist.

Hello, my name is Hallie Spooner! This will be my first year coaching for the Sharks, however, it is not my first year being involved with the team. I started swimming with the BCC Sharks when I was 5 years old, took a few summers off to travel, and graduated from Sharks last year. I also swam club for 11 years and have been a member of the very prestigious Westwood swim team for all four years where I served as captain my senior year. I am a 2013 Westwood graduate and I will be attending Tulane University this fall in the pre-med program. I am really looking forward to coaching the Sharks this summer especially the young ones recalling all the fun I had as a young swimmer. My goal this summer is to incorporate my love of swimming, stroke technique, and fun into practice everyday. I hope to create a fun and successful learning environment for all the swimmers. Swimming for the Sharks was always my favorite part of summer and I hope to share that experience with the team. Those other teams better get ready to eat our bubbles! :)

My name is Natalie Parker and I am a freshman at Kenyon College in Ohio. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and have been on a swim team since I was six years old. I swam for the Sharks for 3 years and graduated to club swimming when I was nine, where I joined Texas Gold Swimming and I've been there ever since. I swam for Westwood from sophomore to senior year and qualified for State on relays all three years. I am currently a member of the Kenyon College varsity swim team and will continue my career in swimming for my remaining three years of college. I am so excited to be able to coach for the Sharks this summer and share my passion for swimming!
