Carla Mabie

Carla Mabie comes to Memphis Tiger Swimming as a Certified Level 1 coach. What Carla brings to the table is a long history of athletic experience and a great attitude working with kids. Having been a Georgia high school AAAA starter in basketball, softball, and track, her real love was competitive dance. She was captain of both her high school ( Lakeside in Augusta ) and college (Georgia Southern) dance teams. She has over seven years of dance coaching experience at all levels.

A former summer league swimmer and coach in Augusta , Georgia , she now brings her enthusiasm and love of competition to the pool deck at Tigers. Working primarily with the red group, but also filling in as needed with blue and white, she demands effort and attention to detail while still keeping the kids smiling.

Carla is actively involved in the Memphis Summer Swim League and had amazing success as head coach of Rhodes Linx in summer 2009.
