Meet our 2026 Coaching Team: Tatiana
The Spruce Grove Barracudas Swim Club is excited to introduce Coach Tatiana, who will be coaching our First Hour Junior Swimmers this season!
Tatiana is a dedicated high school student who has been part of the Barracudas family since 2014. Swimming has played a major role in her life for over a decade, helping her grow both as an athlete and as a person while building lasting friendships and memories along the way.
Coaching Experience
This is Tatiana’s first year formally coaching with the Barracudas, but many of our swimmers will recognize her from her three years of volunteer coaching with the club. Her familiarity with the team and our swimmers makes her a wonderful addition to the coaching staff.
Coaching Philosophy
Tatiana describes herself as disciplined and encouraging. While she believes technique is incredibly important, she also hopes to foster a genuine love for the sport — helping swimmers not only build athletic skills but also develop confidence and passion for swimming.
Favourite Stroke: Breaststroke
Favourite Event: 100m Breaststroke
Outside of swimming, Tatiana enjoys reading, baking, and learning new languages in her free time.
We are excited to see Coach Tatiana continue her journey with the Barracudas — this time on deck helping guide our junior swimmers!
