Hi! My name is Reagan and I currently swim with Olympium’s High Performance Program.  I’ve been competitively swimming since the age of 8 and have loved every minute!  I’ve accomplished many great things with this sport including swimming on the 2019 Team Ontario Development Team and placing 4th in Team & 9th in Duet Finals at the 2022 Canadian National Championships. Artistic swimming is an amazing sport, a great way to make new friends, and lifetime memories. I am super excited to teach our new generation of swimmers!!
