Alexandria 

Alexandria is where I grew up and still consider home, even though I now live in.Loudoun County I learned to swim and took my Senior Lifesaving at Hollin Meadow Swim & Tennis Club. I am a graduate of Fort Hunt High School, and am active in the alumni association. It is with a sense of pride that I am returning to my aquatic roots and am now offering training where it all began for me.
