Coaches :: Deanna Stefanyshyn

Having been a competitive swimmer for over 13 years, Deanna knew that she would always somehow be connected to swimming in her life. Her highlights include being a two-time all Canadian, 2 time national champion with UBC, and winning numerous junior national, and national medals.

When Deanna retired from swimming, she began coaching with the Canadian Dolphins Swim Club and the UBC Thunderfins program. It was through this that she realized her passion for coaching and children and enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program at UBC.

Deanna graduated with an undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics and is a certified strength and conditioning coach, registered kinesiologist, and currently has her Level A and B coaching certificates. While exercise and healthy living are important to her she thrives on being able to share her knowledge of a sport that has been such an important part of her life.
