Drawn to SwimMAC for its strong reputation in competitive swimming and athlete development, Shyann was inspired by the organization’s commitment to both technique and performance, as well as the supportive community and growth opportunities it offers.

Shyann strives to create a positive and inclusive environment where every swimmer feels valued and motivated to reach their full potential.

Shyann’s greatest inspiration is her great-grandfather, “Poppy,” whose resilience and optimism through challenging times taught her the importance of family, community, and staying true to one’s values. His wisdom and strong spirit continue to guide her, reminding her to embrace every opportunity with gratitude. Born and raised in sunny Riverside, CA, Shyann enjoys bringing her love for community and commitment to personal growth to SwimMAC. Her favorite piece of advice? “Embrace failure as a stepping stone to success.”
