During this time, she also spent eight sum- mers lifeguarding at the oceanfront in Virginia Beach with the Virginia Beach Lifeguarding Association and competed on their Regional and National Competition Teams. This piqued an interest in open water swimming and, after taking a break from the sport following her college swimming career, she began competing again in open water races along the east coast (and the occasional masters swim meet) in 2018.
