Caroline, who will graduate from Mead Hall this May, has been swimming for Houndslake since 2012. While this is her first year as an assistant coach, Caroline has been a volunteer coach since 2019. 

Caroline swims year-round for the Southern Tide Swim Club. She was a member of the 2019 and 2022 South Carolina Zone Teams. She is a 2x Speedo Sectional qualifier, and a 9x South Carolina Swimming State qualifier. As a member of Mead Hall's Varsity Swim Team, Caroline served as captain for two years, earned an accumulated seven individual state titles, and has been nominated to the SCISA All State Swim Team for 6 years straight. 

In the fall, Caroline plans to study environmental science with a focus in pre-law at Sewanee: The University of the South, where she'll also join the Varsity Swim & Dive Team. 

When not at the Houndslake pool, you can find Caroline tanning, lifeguarding, or playing volleyball at the beach with her friends.
