Meet the Staff

My name is Suzanne Ellis and I am very excited to be your new swimming director, coach, and teacher. I have been a member here at the Clubs at River City for many years so you may have seen me around. I also teach RPM in the evenings.
I started swimming when I was 5 years old, but did not join swim team until I was 11. I swam competitively for the local YMCA in Elyria, Ohio where I was born and raised. Sprint freestyle events were my favorite. I graduated high school and went on the swim for Miami University in Oxford, Ohio for 4 years. The highlight of my career was swimming at Nationals against some the top swimmers in the word. Lesson learned: There is always someone stronger and faster!
I love to swim, but I love to teach it more. I look forward to meeting all you future swimmers of any age. You are never too old!
