Hello! My name is Julia McDonald. I was born and raised right here in Colorful Colorado. As you will read below I have spent A LOT of my life in and around pools; but outside of the pool I love
spending time with my different communities - church, CrossFit, and family. I have countless hobbies and interests but all of my favorite activities are made better with people - watching anime with my brother, baking and cooking for friends, and going shopping with my sisters.
My ideal day is getting a coffee, putting my pajamas on, and spending the day getting lost in whatever book I am reading. Sci-fi and fantasy are my go-to genres but I also enjoy non-fiction and history.
Now you know a little bit about me :) I look forward to getting to know you and your family!
I have been swimming my whole life. As a child, my parents took my siblings and me swimming regularly - at our local recreation center, at the lake when we would go boating and jet skiing, and in the ocean when we lived in Florida for a few years. Starting from a young age I participated in artistic swimming and summer swim teams; eventually, I joined a USA swim team. Starting in high school, I swam on both my USA team as well as a high school team.
The pool is like a second home to me. Because I was already spending so much time there I decided that training as a lifeguard would be the best first job for me. It was during my 6 years of lifeguarding that I was encouraged to become a group swim instructor. I loved it immediately. I adore children of all ages, and being able to teach them an important life skill has brought me so much joy.
After meeting an ISR instructor at the YMCA I was working at I looked into ISR's mission and how their lessons worked and I knew immediately it was what I wanted to do. I was trained in Lubbock, Texas in the summer of 2019 and I have been teaching non-stop since then. I have taught over 500 students between Colorado, Minnesota, and Texas.
