Andrea's love of the water began at a very early age- she could swim before she could walk! After a successful college water polo career, Andrea finally made the jump into open water swimming by completing an Alcatraz crossing to celebrate a milestone birthday. That experience hooked Andrea and she has gone on to participate in Island to Island, Golden Gate Bridge and also the inaugural Galapagos trip in the spring of 2015. During the summer months, you'll even see her sans wetsuit in the San Francisco Bay!

Outside of the water, Andrea is a seasoned marketing communications expert and brings corporate PR and event promotional experience to help even more swimmers from around the world discover a love for the oceans, rivers and lakes that connect us all. If you are interested in sponsoring an event or partnering with Water World Swim, or for any media interview requests, you can reach her at andrea@waterworldswim.com.
