Amelia Schumacher
My name is Amelia and this will be my 3rd year as an EXSC coach and lifeguard!! I have been swimming since I was less than a year old and have always loved the water. I have been on the Exchange swim team since I was 8 years old, and this will be my 10th year on the team. I also swim for YOTA and have been on that team for 7 years now. I am a junior and attend Durham Tech Middle College, but I still swim for Chapel Hill High School. I also teach lessons at Exchange and love all of it. I am so excited for another year of Exchange swimming and am so excited to see all the kids again!!
