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.

Worked as a coach for multiple teams across multiple levels, as well as teaching Learn to Swim Classes. 

I am successful and accomplished NCAA Student athlete with a master’s in business administration with an emphasis on Digital Marketing along with a bachelor’s in business administration focused in Sport Management.  My athletic career of 15+ years along with my education has prepared me for the next step in finding a company that will allow me grow professionally for years to come.  Leadership, Commitment, Empathy, good business acumen, and a driven desire for success are just a few of my core key attributes.

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.

As Head Coach at CYA since 2018, I have overseen all aspects of the swim programs, including practice planning, competition strategy, and swimmer development. Under my leadership, our team has cultivated a positive, athlete-centered culture that emphasizes growth, teamwork, and excellence. Notably, I have guided swimmers to achieve milestones at USA Swimming competitions, while also mentoring assistant coaches and ensuring compliance with national standards. My professional background is complemented by certifications, including USA Swimming’s Silver Level Coach credential, and a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Law from Liberty University, where I was a member of the Men’s Swimming and Diving team. These experiences have strengthened my skills in leadership, critical thinking, and communication—qualities essential for coaching and inspiring swimmers of all levels.
