Head Swim Coach
Joy Curry
Joy Curry will be our new swim team coach this summer! She plans to focus on instructing stroke basics for beginners and technique efficiency to advanced swimmers. For most of her life, Jo has either trained in the pool or coached swimming –
From the age of four through her high school years, Jo competed with various recreational and USA swim clubs in California and Texas. During her collegiate years at SFASU, Jo lettered in volleyball as an All-American with the Ladyjacks, but she never strayed too far from the pool.
Jo taught swimming lessons since the age of 16 and has coached for over 25 years for all levels of swimmers. She holds a doctorate degree in nutrition and exercise physiology and currently teaches college at Red Rocks Community College and Colorado Christian University. She enjoys gardening, yoga, outdoor sports and spending time with family and friends.
She is so excited to get started and be a part of the Bear Creek Community.
