Having grown up in Australia, swimming was always a big part of Lillie’s life. From famed Bondi Beach to her local swim school, Lillie loved everything the water had to offer. In middle and high school, she competed in her school’s swimming 'carnivals', often winning first place in her favorite stroke - the breaststroke. Lillie moved to the U.S. in 2019 to attend college at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) and The New School, where she was able to combine her passions of acting, developmental psychology, and liberal arts, going on to graduate with a Bachelor's of Science, with academic honors. When it comes to teaching swimming, Lillie strives to foster an environment built on trust, fun, and safety. She believes that each child progresses at their own pace and strives to accommodate each child's unique needs. When she isn’t in the water, Lillie can be found on stage pursuing her love for theater, cuddling her cat Hugo, or walking her mini wiener dog Teddy!
