Hi, I’m Hannah Janicke. I’ve been in and around the water my whole life—8 years on Seal Beach Swim Team, all 4 years of Los Alamitos Swim and Water Polo, and I earned Offensive Player of the Year title my sophomore year. In addition, I spent 8 beautiful summers as a Seal Beach Junior Guard, and I finished my final year there as a member of Captain Corps. I’m a certified Red Cross Safety Swim Coach with CPR/First Aid certification, and I specialize in teaching young swimmers, inspired by the incredible instructor I had growing up. I believe swimming should be safe, fun, and empowering. My goal is to help every child feel confident in the water while developing strong technique. When I’m not in the pool, I’m working on my private pilot license and bringing that same focus and determination to everything I do.

 Proactive and highly skilled Elite Swim Coach with advanced expertise in  swimming, sports leadership, and training methodologies. Proficient in  movement sciences including anatomy, physiology, rehabilitative care, and  kinesiology, leveraging these principles to enhance athletic performance, injury  prevention, and recovery.  Proven ability to recruit, develop, and mentor elite athletes, creating a  high-performance training environment that fosters both personal growth and  competitive excellence. Deeply experienced in workout programming, technical  instruction, and strategic training techniques to optimize swimmer performance  at all levels.  Strong background in training program development, stroke refinement, safety  protocols, and swim meet management. A results-driven leader with exceptional  communication, adaptability, and mentorship skills, dedicated to maximizing  athlete potential and sustaining championship-level success. "I create monsters  in the water"  

I am a diligent and enthusiastic age group swim coach proficient in stroke technique and drills. As a former club swimmer and high school swim captain, I have rekindled my passion for the sport and enjoy guiding young athletes at the Elite Otters Swim Team. Coaching children ages 5-10 has been especially rewarding, as I not only develop their skills but also foster their love for swimming. I’ve had the privilege of being an assistant coach at major events such as the Eastern Committee Long Course Championships, California/Nevada Speedo Sectionals, and Summer Age Groups. Currently, I am pursuing an M.A. in American Indian Studies at UCLA.

When it comes to my coaching philosophy.  I am a big believer in the idea of how one's body feels, and what is going through one's mind before and after each race.  Helping with ideas, race strategy and mental positivity is one of my biggest focus points as a coach. When getting to the heart of the season in regards to racing, meets and practice there is no other place I would rather be than on the pool deck.  Being able to coach everyday, talking to the team and getting to know them/what they want to work on throughout the practice, week or even the season really helps me focus on what should be prioritized when writing for practice groups.  I have had the great fortune to work with wonderful athletes, and they are a huge reason why I love coaching.  Being able to connect with them and just help when they are on and off the pool deck really helps make that connection stronger, and also helps build trust between myself and the team
