CALLIE DUNHAM

Lead Coach Senior Bronze at Great Bridge

Coach Callie joined TIDE in the fall of 2022. Callie was born and raised in Virginia Beach. She started swimming at the age of 4 with Carolanne Farms Swim Team and then swam with a local club team until 2012 when her family moved to San Diego, where she swam for Coronado Navy Swim Association. Upon moving back to Virginia Beach in 2014 she joined TIDE and is a proud TIDE Alumni class of 2017. Callie attended the University of Mary Washington and swam all 4 years for the varsity team. She specialized in the 500 freestyle, 400 IM, and 200 breaststroke. She graduated Cum Laude in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Communications and Digital Studies with a double minor in Business Administration and Sports Management. Callie continued her education at ODU, working on her master's in Sports Management. Four years of college swimming just wasn't enough so she took her Covid year of eligibility and swam a 5th year during the 2021-22 season while at ODU. Callie is so grateful for this opportunity to coach the team that gave her the best opportunities to swim in college and helped set the foundation for not only her swim career but for life. "I'm super excited to give back to the team that gave me so much."
