Kelli
My name is Kelli. Originally hailing from the East Coast, I made Bozeman my home in 2022. My life long affinity for water began with swimming on my neighborhood team and evolved into roles as a lifeguard, swim instructor and pool manager throughout high school and college. I am very passionate about water safety and have always been an advocate for ensuring everyone’s well-being in any aquatic environment. With extensive experience in office management and customer service, I took a career break to raise my three children Mak, Rose and Everett. When I returned to professional life, I knew I had to make a meaningful impact both personally and within my community. Recent experiences inspired me to return to the pool to empower individuals of all ages to swim proficiently and more importantly how to stay safe in the water. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Michael, and our children and dog, Scout. I can be found camping, canoeing, boating, exploring d
