Jessica Millsaps, Age Group Coach: 6 & Under & 7/8-year-olds
Coach Jessica joined the Durbin Dolphins Swim Team during its inaugural year as the 6 & under coach and has helped build it into what it is today. She is a graduate of the University of North Florida and a scholarship recipient for their Division 1 Swim Team (2001-2005). While at UNF, Jessica received her BS in Communications, with a concentration on marketing/PR and minored in Psychology.
Jessica has been coaching and instructing swimming for 19 years both in Jacksonville and her hometown of St. Petersburg. She enjoys the challenge of finding ways to help each child develop technique and a love for the sport. Our youngest swimmers build confidence and swimming strength under Coach Jessica's guidance. She truly builds our team from the bottom up. We are excited to have Coach Jessica back for the 2023 season!
