Molly Sanborn – Head Coach; 11-12 Age Group Lead
Molly is a lifelong swimmer, having joined her neighborhood swim team at 5 years old, and began coaching on that team at age 16. She fell in love with open water when, at age 11, she began doing the swim portion of triathlon relays with her family. During the pandemic, she decided to get back into open water swimming, and did the Swim Around Key West, the Border Buster in Lake Memohremagog, and the Swim Around Charleston. She completed the English Channel in August 2023. Molly has experience in team and one on one swim coaching and is currently studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer.
