Coaching

Lauren Harper grew up competing and coaching in Greenville’s S.A.I.L swimming league. Harper made the transition to endurance swimming and triathlon in 2019, and was pleasantly surprised to find herself ranked far better than in her sprinting career. As a Starfish Aquatics Institute Instructor, Harper works with all ages learning to swim and improving technique efficiency in the pool and open water, and she loves to be a part of other people falling in love with the sport. She is a sports performance therapist, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, certified in Selective Functional Movement Assessment, and the owner of Harper Sport. This is her third year coaching the GVL Tri Club Swim Clinic, and she is the Vice President of the club.
We will have several guest coaches weekly from local triathlon teams and swim clubs. This diverse group of rotating coaches will allow for additional one-on-one feedback as well as a wide range of swimming wisdom.
