My name is Ella Jane Lee but you can Call me Coach EJ, and I am so excited to be an assistant swim coach for the 2026 season! I have been swimming since I was 5 years old and have spent my entire swim career with WGST. I have also competed on year-round swim teams and currently swim varsity for Wade Hampton High School. This team has been such a big part of my life, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to give back as a coach. I’m excited to work hard with all of you, help you grow as swimmers, and build confidence both in and out of the pool. I can’t wait to meet everyone, get to know you, and most importantly—see lots of improvement and bring home as many blue ribbons as possible!
