She is known for blending strong technical instruction with a warm, athlete‐centered approach that helps swimmers build confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for the sport.

Anise’s roots in competitive swimming run deep. She grew up in the Northern Virginia Swimming League (NVSL), competing for Forest Hollow from ages 12 to 18. She also excelled as a high school swimmer, setting records and earning recognition across the county. She later continued her swimming career at Bowling Green State University, where she both swam for the program and served as the Swim Team Manager, gaining hands‐on experience in Division I team operations, training environments, and athlete support.

Her coaching background is equally strong. Anise previously served as the Head Coach of a Division A, team in the Prince‐Mont Swim League (PMSL) in Maryland, where she led athletes to competitive success while fostering a positive, family‐oriented team culture. During her tenure the team claimed the PMSL Championship title on consecutive years. Returning to NVSL now as a coach is a full‐circle moment she’s truly excited about.

In addition to her summer league experience, Anise is the Head Coach of Elite Rays Swim Club and the Founder of SwimTruth, two organizations dedicated to expanding access to trauma‐informed aquatic programming and holistic youth wellness. She has coached swimmers from learn‐to‐swim through championship‐level competition, consistently helping athletes strengthen their fundamentals, improve race strategy, and grow in resilience both in and out of the pool.

Her coaching philosophy centers on positive team culture, clear communication, and meeting each swimmer where they are. Anise is passionate about creating an environment where every athlete feels supported, challenged, and celebrated for their progress.

Beyond the pool deck, she has led large‐scale youth programs, coordinated multi‐site training operations, and built partnerships that bring new opportunities to families and communities. Her leadership is rooted in joy, purpose, and the belief that swimming can transform lives. 

Coach Anise is thrilled to return to NVSL and looks forward to a season filled with growth, teamwork, and fun.
