HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMA!
Ema, our resident swim coach, is a beast in and out of the water. Not only does she have an accomplished swim resume and experience coaching swimmers of all abilities, she also proves to be a strong athlete in Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, running and pretty much anything else she sets out to accomplish. It helps that Ema is a former gymnast and grew up with athletic surfing and swimming sisters Helena (older) and Aja (younger). Beyond her physical abilities, Ema is a gifted instructor, who’s smart and compassionate. She is a speech therapist at Haiku School and she daily faces a tough public school system workload. Ema finds joy in giving back and helping others; that’s where one of her biggest beauties lie — in her servitude and heart for community. Have a great birthday, Ema! We love you!
