Meet Brenna Saucier – Aquatics Director

Hi, I’m Brenna Saucier, the Aquatics Director at the AYCC! My passion for aquatics began early—I was a competitive swimmer with MMD from ages 10 to 18, and I started my career at AYCC at just 16. Over the past eight years, I’ve gained extensive experience as both a lifeguard and swim lesson instructor, working my way up to my current role.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Minor in Rehabilitation Services and am fully certified in multiple aquatic programs. My certifications include American Red Cross Lifeguard (ARC), Water Safety Instructor (WSI), Lifeguard Instructor (LGI), and YMCA Lifeguard and Swim Lesson Instructor. Currently, I’m furthering my leadership training with the YMCA to enhance my skills and help develop future aquatic professionals.

I’m dedicated to water safety and ensuring that individuals of all ages feel confident and capable in the water. When I’m not leading the aquatics team, I’m focused on improving our programs to provide the best experience for our community.

Feel free to reach out with any questions about our aquatics programs—I’d love to help!
