My name is Ashley McDiarmid, and I'm from Invermere, British Columbia. This is my first time being in Victoria, and I'm looking forward to exploring all the beautiful areas! I came to UVIC to pursue a Bachelor of Education degree. This is also my first year as a Pacific Coast Swimming instructor, I am a LFSS level one swim coach at Gordon Head. I began swimming at the age of five and began competing at the age of thirteen. For the past five years, I've volunteered as a swim and soccer coach in my hometown. I'm thrilled to be able to share my passion for athletics with others, and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
