Head Swim Coach: Ali Smith

I grew up in Pleasanton, CA, starting my youth swimming career with the FAST Dolphins and ending with the PVC Dolphins. I swam all four years of high school and graduated from Foothill in 2018. While in high school, I started my own private swim lesson business to share my passion for the sport of swimming with others. I’ve taught kids ages 2-14, skills anywhere from water safety to stroke refinement and improvement. After high school, I went on to study Criminal Justice and Business at the University of Nevada, Reno. While at UNR, I swam for the Sierra Nevada Masters and once COVID hit, I moved home to Pleasanton where I swam and coached for the Tri-Valley Masters. I currently swim for HTUB Masters. I graduated from UNR in May of 2021, and began working in software sales. I’ve been coaching with the PVC Dolphins, and I was Foothill’s Head JV coach in 2022 and led the JV girls undefeated in dual meets and last seasons Head coach for JV and Varsity. I’m beyond excited for the 2024 season! Go Falcons!
