-Bri brings over 20 years of experience teaching swimming lessons to Astoria. Growing up in a small town in southern Idaho, she began teaching swimming lessons in exchange for a pool pass and unlimited slushies. Continuing her passion through college at Idaho State University, Bri taught both youth and college students. She has been in the valley for 11 years and enjoys golfing, swimming, and camping. Bri’s greatest joy comes from working with youth, witnessing the smiles on their faces when they master a new skill. She eagerly anticipates her second season at Astoria.
