Jasmine Lee:
Assistant Coach
My name is Jasmine Lee and I am looking forward to the 2017 spring swim season! Currently I am a sophomore at Chapman University majoring in Communications with a minor in Public Relations. I began swimming lessons at the Janet Evans Swim Complex and eventually swam with the competitive team (Fullerton Aquatics Sports Team – FAST) for 5 years coached by Lauren Yee and Kyle Knoff. I swam for my high school varsity swim team in my sophomore and junior year and I helped the coaches teach technique and the four basic strokes to beginning swimmers and new members of the high school team. I was awarded the Varsity Dedication and Determination award both years. My last year in high school I was awarded “Miss Most Spirited” in my graduating senior class. I was the Academy of the Arts Liaison and Event Coordinator in ASB. As a senior I was a keynote speaker for incoming high school freshmen to help them transition and make them feel more welcomed into their high school experience. I have worked as a volunteer event coordinator for four years at FAST as an Administrative Assistant in operating and running various SCS sanctioned swim meets including FAST’s annual Special Olympic swim meet. Growing up in the Fullerton Union High School District and always hearing of Troy High School’s accredited swim team, I am honored to be a part of such a reputable and respected team with such dedicated athletes and their families.
