Operations Assistant - Jess McGuire
Jess grew up playing tennis and never considered herself a strong swimmer, which is exactly why she understands how important learning to swim can be. She believes swimming is more than just a competitive sport. It is a lifelong skill that promotes safety, confidence, health, and personal growth at every age. From young children learning to be comfortable in the water to adults discovering swimming later in life, Jess loves seeing how the sport can positively impact entire families.
As the Operations Assistant for Just Swim, Jess helps keep the many moving pieces of the program running smoothly behind the scenes. She supports day-to-day operations including registration, scheduling, family communication, volunteer coordination, program organization, and administrative support for coaches and leadership. Jess works hard to create a welcoming, organized environment so swimmers, families, and coaches can focus on growth, teamwork, confidence, and having fun in the water instead of worrying about logistics. Jess is especially passionate about helping families feel connected and supported throughout their swim journey. She understands that joining a swim program can sometimes feel overwhelming for new families, and she enjoys helping create a positive experience from the very beginning. Whether answering questions, organizing information, or helping programs stay on track, she takes pride in making things easier for both parents and coaches.
Outside of Just Swim, Jess enjoys reading, crafting, hiking, traveling, and playing tennis. Most importantly, as a mom of two swimmers, she has seen firsthand how swimming can help children develop confidence, resilience, discipline, friendships, and lifelong healthy habits. Watching her own children grow through the sport continues to inspire her work and reinforces her passion for helping other families experience those same benefits through Just Swim.
