Hi, my name is Regan Rodriguez.

I grew up swimming right here in Bakersfield, so being back on the pool deck as a coach is incredibly special to me. Swimming has shaped so much of who I am, and I'm grateful for the coaches and teammates who helped me along the way. Now, after competing as a collegiate swimmer and recently earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I'm excited to give back to the same community that helped me grow. I'll also be starting my Master's in Counseling Psychology this fall, and I love helping young athletes build confidence both in and out of the pool.

As a coach, my goal is to create a positive, encouraging environment where every swimmer feels supported, challenged, and excited to come to practice. Having coached swimmers before, I've seen firsthand how much athletes can grow through consistency, encouragement, and believing in themselves. My hope is to help each athlete grow not only as a swimmer, but as a teammate and person as well.
