Meet The Team

Jardin T.

Regional Operations Manager

Hi yall, my name is Jardin, and I’m the Regional Operations Manager for Goldfish Swim School here in Central Texas. I oversee 2 locations in Austin, and 1 in San Antonio, and I love getting to work with my teams each week to help develop them to becoming the best leaders possible.

I’ve worked with Goldfish since 2024, and while my background isn’t necessarily in aquatics, I come from a career of Multi-Unit Management as a Regional Sales and Operations Manager, and have almost 20 years of experience in Leadership Development, Member Retention, Sales + Operations Training, Event + Marketing Support, and Customer Service. I absolutely love what I do, and being able to witness the kids accomplish new skills and overcome their fears during a lesson is truly one of the best parts of my day.

When I’m not visiting one of my 3 locations, you can probably find me hanging out with my boyfriend, Anthony, and our sweet dachshund pup, Darrell. I love finding new movies to watch, taking boxing classes, and as a huge reader I love any sort of thriller/mystery novel. I can’t wait to see you and your little swimmer on the deck soon!

Hi guys! My name is Marc, and I’m the General Manager at Goldfish South Austin. I have 11 years of experience as a pool director and state-certified sports camp director. In addition to those roles I also taught swim lessons at the Rockrimmon Country Club in Stamford, Connecticut. I’m passionate about helping swimmers build confidence and develop their skills. I grew up swimming competitively, and I’ve now been with Goldfish for two and a half years. Outside of work, I’m married and love cheering on our five-year-old son, who also swims at Goldfish.

David

Deck Supervisor | Swim Instructor | Lifeguard

I have been at Goldfish for almost two whole years now, and have only grown to love it more everyday. I have been trained to be a Swim Instructor, Lifeguard, and Deck Supervisor across my whole time here.

I really love to see the kids grow into amazing and confident swimmers who always have fun every week, and not just that, but into amazing people as well who always brighten my day when I see them come to class! Parents, I also thank you for letting me have fun and teach your kids all these cool skills that I know you’re proud of them to learn!

Outside of Goldfish I do love to spend time doing a bit of running or exercising in nature when I can, it relaxes me a lot to be around animals and even just the sounds of trees brushing by each other is so nice to listen to. I love to spend time with my siblings, who are all older but we have fun together, especially as we like to watch shows, movies, or play games together when we can!

I can’t wait to get to know your swimmer next time they’re in class with me 🙂

Diana

Hello everyone, I’m Diana and I’ve worked at Goldfish SA for a little over a month! Outside of work I am a high school student. Before this new role I’ve been a babysitter, which has made me love kids and working with them, but also I’ve learned how important it is to keep them safe and at the same time ensure we are having fun and learning new things. 

I speak both English and Spanish, so if someone needs me I’ll be there to help. I am happy to support my team and anyone if needed. 

I am so excited to keep working at Goldfish and to enjoy swimming lessons with the kids 🐠
