Meet Our 2026 Coaching Staff:
- Coach Suzye Farmer
I learned how to swim at 3 years old. I began competing at age 6. I swam competitively during my entire childhood. I competed in high school and at college (UC Berkeley) I learned how to teach/coach swimming at the YMCA in Oakland. I’ve been coaching with the Skimmers since 1996 when my own children were Skimmers. I LOVE sharing my love of swimming with everyone!
Fun Fact: I am the 11th of 13 siblings!
- Coach Shelby Harrison
I began swimming for the Skimmers at the age of 3, and continued swimming throughout college! During my time on Skimmers, I qualified for county several times, & even went on to break a butterfly record. I've been coaching on/off since 2014, & continue my love of swim by passing my knowledge onto current swimmers who want to achieve greatness!
Fun Fact: I have a Doctorate in Chiropractic & my favorite holiday is Halloween!
- Coach Sabrina Bartlett
I’m so excited to be coaching with the Skimmers this season! I started swimming at a young age and was part of the Skimmers, so it’s really special to now come back as a coach. I love being part of such a fun and supportive team environment and helping swimmers grow their confidence and skills in the water.
Fun Fact: My daughter Eliana swims on the team too!
