Coach Emily Graham was born and raised in Rose Park (RP Represent!) and trained and competed on behalf of Race Swami for 6 years. Her lovefor this program has never been stronger. Emily graduated from West High in 2019 and completed her BS in Exercise Science from Utah Tech University in 2024. As a certified Health and Wellness Coach, Emily has a deep appreciation for health and athletics and wants to share her knowledge to all her swimmers.
Emily coached for Race Swami for one season in 2022, heading the Kairos group. She left to finish her education in St. George, UT, but is ecstaticto be back on the pool deck in Rose Park and to have the opportunity to live out her dream job of leading something as special as the Race Swami program.
Emily’s goal as Head Coach is to bring an experience similar to her own when she was part of the Swami lore: one of fun, hard work, friendships, and a love for the sport of swimming. As she put it, “Race Swami is more than a swim team, it’s a family that helped teach me how to persevereduring challenging times, to make the most out of every situation… And to have fun while doing it.”
Emily still loves all things swimming (and athletics) as she continues to train for various activities including triathlons and road bike races. She is also a coach for the Rowland Hall Boys and Girls swim teams, and is excitedfor the opportunity to bring her love for the sport to more people!
When Emily is not at the pool or the gym, she enjoys spending time with her family, her husband Thomas, and her two kitties.
