Carly Helgason
My name is Carly Helgason, and I have been a coach for the past 5 years. In this time I have coached throughout the interior of BC, as well as for the BC Summer Games the past 2 summers. Before coaching I swam for 9 years competitively, the last 5 of those competing nationally. I was fortunate enough to finish off my career by swimming with the Calgary Aquabelles, as well as the Calgary Dinos University team. It was through swimming with the University that I discovered my passion of sport science. I transferred to UBC Okanagan last year to complete my bachelors degree in Human Kinetics, where I have 3 more semesters left! I still have a deep love for the sport, which keeps me coaching, as well as in the pool swimming for fun.
