Head Coach

Coach Brooke Snyder

Email: snyder.brooke@westada.org
Coach Brooke earned her Master’s degree in 2001 from Azusa Pacific University. She immediately jumped into the world of high school English and quickly decided she had the best job in the world.   Not only does she get to hang out with really amazing humans, but she also gets to teach a subject that she is extremely passionate about.
Coach Brooke moved to Boise in 2020 after teaching abroad in Recife, Brazil.  She has always been involved with some form of water sport since she was 6 years old. She swam competitively in her early life and now focuses more on the coaching aspect. Brooke is an avid swimmer but now, instead of competing, she loves sports like paddleboarding, surfing, and scuba diving (when she is near the ocean).
Coach Brooke has been at Centennial high school for the last two years, where she coached lacrosse and swimming. She will be transferring to Owyhee this fall to teach English. Brooke is so excited to be part of the Storm family and is looking forward to being a part of the Owyhee STORM swim program!
