Faith | Barracuda Swim Club Instructor for the Billings and Laurel communities

Miss Faith

Owner and Founder of the Barracuda Swim Club.
Originally from Arizona, Faith discovered her true passion for swimming when she joined the swim team in grade school. Faith has a natural ability to teach children, and when she was injured while competing in high school, her focus shifted from competitive swimming to teaching. She worked as a lifeguard, swim teacher, and coach for a handful of years before moving to Montana.

Fulfilling her lifelong dream, she started the Barracuda Swim Club in Sidney, MT in 2016. In 2018 she relocated and opened in Laurel, MT. This was a wonderful move that benefited both her personal and business life. Faith is so thankful for this community and the success she has had here and she looks forward to serving the Billings and Laurel communities for many years to come.
Faith handles all management of the Barracuda Swim Club and spends 3-4 days in the pool each week teaching lessons. Although very well versed in all ages, backgrounds, and types of children, her specialty (and love) truly lies with the little fish of BSC. Infants, babies, toddlers, and preschool ages end up on Faith's schedule as often as possible! Teaching lifesaving skills to these littles truly fuels her passion for swim instruction.

Miss Gracie

Miss Gracie is our other instructor at the club! She teaches lessons full time, so you will see her at the pool the most. Gracie has been an instructor with BSC since the early days, she has 5 years of teaching experience (mostly here at BSC), one could say she is well trained in our program, having been present through the evolution of our teaching methods. You may notice it's easy to confuse the two instructors at first glance (or earshot) Gracie and Faith are actually sisters, sharing very similar upbringings in the swim scene in Arizona, spending more time in the pool than not all year as well as competitive swimming.

With years of Swim team under her belt, Gracie has a vast skill set to bring to the table. She teaches all ages, but her specialty lies in kids a little older. Gracie has a knack for helping a child go from little-basic swim skills, to swim team ready. She leads our Advanced swim class which is for kids that are beyond the 'learning to swim' stage, and who are more interested in the sport of swimming. Swim team prep is certainly an area of passion for Gracie, she played a lead role in coaching one of our earlier students to become a competitive swimmer, going to state and constantly improving over the past 2 years.

We have two young boys who take weekly one on one lessons with Miss Gracie. They absolutely adore her! Every time we drive by the Locomotion they ask if it’s time to see Miss Gracie! 🤣 They are taught at a pace that they are comfortable with and have learned to love the water while being safe. I can’t ...
