Sarah Reed Lead Coach
Coach Sarah is thrilled to be a part of the AquaHawgs team, and owes much to the coaches who encouraged her like Coach Carolyn Haefner, Coach Stuart Smith, and Coach John.  She joined the Walmart Swim Club (WMSC), and kept right on swimming through High School on Championship BHS teams, Regional and Sectional Championships, and for the Golden Eagles at JBU.  After college she moved to Scotland and joined an amazing competitive Masters Club (The Nomads).  Sarah returned home to NWA and to coaching and was on staff as Head Age Group Coach for WMSC from 2002-2004, and has taught numerous private swim lessons in the interim.
 
Sarah took a break from the water to marry a swimmer—but not from the gym.  She’s been an NASM Certified Personal Trainer for over twenty years and is certified in and taught classes in: Schwinn indoor cycling, Kinesis, TRX, Ripped, Body Pump, Boot Camp, Powerhouse Pilates Reformer, and Yoga for Athletes.  She is co-founder of the original WLFC Runners and for many years, greatly enjoyed coaching non-runners through their first marathons.  She has degrees in Business, and a Masters in Curriculum Design and Development and more than 13 years experience working with youth groups and children.
 
While helping people reach their fitness goals has long been Coach Sarah’s passion, she has recently discovered that coaching combines the best of all possible worlds. At the bequest of Coach Carolyn she reached out and was absolutely thrilled to join the AquaHawgs coaching team. She believes that every single day you swim you are building character that contributes to the person you become; it is a joy to watch young athletes work hard and grow together.  Sarah is forever thankful to the sport of swimming, where she met her husband (Calvin).  They are proud parents to AquaHawgs Gabriella and Elijah.
Carolyn Haefner Coach Emeritus

Carolyn was the original founder coach of Walmart Swim Club, now known as Northwest Arkansas Aquatics Sharks. Her coaching career began in 1975 when she stepped up to become the coach for the Bentonville Summer Swim Team at Bentonville’s City Pool. Under her coaching, the summer swim program grew from 25 swimmers to 125 in her 9 years of coaching the team. The Bentonville Swim Team was a member of the Tri-State Summer Swim Conference, and under her leadership, she took the team to many first place conference championships. In 1984, she began a year-round United States Swimming program at the Walton Life Fitness Center in Bentonville. She experienced all the growing pains in bringing Walmart Swim Club from its initial membership of about 20 to about 70 when she retired from coaching to become the full-time Aquatics Director at the center in 1994.

Prior to Carolyn retiring from coaching, the Walmart Swim Club achieved its first championship victory at the 1994 Arkansas Swimming Inc. Long Course Championships. Carolyn retired from Walmart after 16 ½ years at the Walton Life Fitness Center as a swim coach and Aquatics Director.
 
In September of 2003, Carolyn returned to coaching with the Walmart Swim Club, now known as Northwest Arkansas Aquatics Sharks, and served in the capacity as Head Age Group Coach. When the team at the Jones Center restructured and became the AquaHawgs, she was hired as Head Age Group Coach.  Carolyn received Arkansas Swimming Inc. Coach of the Year in 1994 and 2006 and was inducted into the Arkansas Hall of Fame in 1997.
