🏊‍♀️ COACH SPOTLIGHT: MEET COACH SAVANNAH! 🏊‍♀️
We’re excited to welcome Coach Savannah to the HHAC coaching team! This season, she’ll be working with our Category 1 & 2 swimmers. 💙
A little about Savannah:
Savannah says she could swim before she could walk—and swimming has been a huge passion ever since! She’s currently studying Recreation and Leisure Services at Fanshawe College, after spending 2½ years at Brock University studying Child and Youth Studies.
She has been a lifeguard and swim instructor since 2020, and one of her favourite things is helping kids learn, grow, and discover their own love of swimming.
Why HHAC?
After taking a break from swimming, Savannah joined the HHAC Masters team last year. The team, coaching, and meet experiences reignited her passion for the sport. Inspired by Coach Robyn, she decided to apply for a coaching position—and we’re so excited she did!
🏅 Favourite Swimming Memory:
Competing at OFSAA in her final year of high school, where she placed 16th in Ontario in the 100m Freestyle!
🏊‍♀️ Favourite Stroke:
Freestyle through and through!
🎯 Goal for This Season:
To get to know the HHAC swim community and help our swimmers discover their own passion for the sport.
🧡 Fun Fact:
Coach Robyn inspired Savannah to take on her first triathlon this summer! 🚴‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏃‍♀️
💙 Coach’s Mantra
“Help every swimmer find their passion and love for the sport.”
Welcome to the coaching team, Savannah! We’re thrilled to have you on deck! 🌊💙

🏊‍♀️ COACH SPOTLIGHT: Meet Coach Allison! 🏊‍♀️

Born and raised in Clinton, Coach Allison grew up swimming with HHAC before swimming with the Golden Gaels at Queen’s University. After 10 years in Goderich, she’s excited to be back on the pool deck as a coach!
She’s a professor in the Faculty of Education at Western University, a mom to two HHAC swimmers, and a municipal councillor for the Town of Goderich. Outside of swimming, she enjoys travelling, gardening, reading, and spending time with family.

Why HHAC?
Her swimming journey started when her mom signed her up after she sat on the ice and cried when she thought she might enjoy figure skating! 😂 She’s been finding her way back to HHAC ever since—from volunteering as a coach to returning to the pool deck when her own kids started swimming.
“Swimming has been such a constant in my life, and HHAC is an incredible community!”

Favourite memories:
Purple hair🤷‍♀️at Division III Team Championships, team dinners, road trips, hotel stays, and countless meet memories—but most importantly, the friendships. Many of the friends she made through HHAC and Queen’s are still close friends today.

Favourite strokes: 🏊‍♀️
Long-distance freestyle & breaststroke. Definitely not a sprinter! 😜

Goals this year: 👏
To create a strong sense of belonging, fun, and connection for our swimmers and a collaborative, supportive coaching team.
For Coach Allison, swimming is about more than times and medals. It’s about the journey, the friendships, the challenges, and discovering what you’re capable of.

Fun fact: 🍫 Chocolate should be considered the fifth food group!
Her love of swimming has also led to triathlons and road and trail running. She completed her first marathon in 2024—further proof she’s still not a sprinter! 😂🏃‍♀️
💜 We’re so excited to have Coach Allison back on the pool deck in her new role as Head Coach! 💜

Welcome Meeting: What Is the Swimming World All About?

Whether you’re new to swimming or have been part of HHAC for years, this meeting is a chance to learn more about the swimming world and what to expect throughout the season.

We’ll talk about how the swimming season works, what families can expect this year, and some of the things that can be confusing when you’re new to the sport. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and get the information you need to feel prepared for the season ahead.

Meet Your Coaches
This is your chance to meet your swimmer’s coaches, get to know them a little better, and hear what they have in store for the year ahead.
It’s a great way for swimmers and families to connect with the whole coaching team!

Get started on your Volunteer Points
Each family will receive 2 volunteer points for attending the AGM.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on October 8, answering your questions, introducing our coaches, and getting the 2026/2027 HHAC season off to a great start!

🏋️‍♀️ COACH SPOTLIGHT: Meet Coach Nancy! 🏋️‍♀️
We’re excited to welcome back Nancy to the HHAC coaching team!

👋 A little about Nancy
Nancy works at VRC as a pool operator, lifeguard and instructor. Her coaching journey began way back in 1989, when she started coaching her high school rowing team. Since then, she’s coached CrossFit, worked with local strength & conditioning facilities, and spent 9 years as the team trainer for her daughter’s ringette team.

💙 Why HHAC?
“I love watching the HHAC swimmers when they train at VRC. They are incredible athletes and their tenacity is so impressive! They just keep putting in the work and making progress. I love that!”

🏊 Favourite swimming memory
Nancy wasn’t on a swim team growing up, but she has competed in a couple of triathlons as an adult. One of her favourite memories was being humbled by the older swimmers while training at the YMCA with Kristy Lyon for her first triathlon.
“As a CrossFit coach and athlete, I thought it would be easy. It wasn’t at all!” 😅

🏊 Favourite stroke
Front crawl

💪 Goal for this year
Nancy is excited to take on a new challenge with dryland training for HHAC athletes and can’t wait to see what our swimmers can accomplish!

🦕 Fun fact
Her nickname is Nessie — just like the Loch Ness Monster!

We’re thrilled to have Nancy bringing her coaching experience, strength & conditioning knowledge, and enthusiasm to the Hurricanes! 💙🌊
