Lauren started her competitive swimming career at the age of nine years old and continued swimming through her Senior year at the University of Maine, Orono. After spending the last 6 years in Massachusetts working in Campus Recreation at Springfield College and most recently at Boston University, Lauren moved back ‘home’ to Maine, where she serves as the Aquatics Director at the AYCC.
