A Few Things to Know About Coach Parsons

I’m married to Justin, a retired US Park Ranger, and mom to Kayla, a grad student working on her PsyD. I’m an ELL teacher in the Tolleson Union High School District and have been teaching English for 18 years. I started swimming competitively at age 8 and continued off and on throughout elementary school and high school, eventually going on to swim in college. I attended Hillsdale College on a partial athletic scholarship and swam all four years as a student there. I have coached for two high school teams and have been an assistant coach for age group club teams and YMCA swim teams. As a swim coach, my philosophy is that everyone has something to contribute to the team. Not everyone is the fastest, but everyone is important. Through hard work, perseverance, coachability, and camaraderie, everyone can be a valuable and contributing member of the team.
