COACH

Born in Odessa, Ukraine Veronika was inspired by her grandmother to pursue the sport of Synchronized Swimming. Her grandma, a champion of rhythmic gymnastics, saw Veronika's affinity for water and artistic movement and knew this sport would be the perfect match. At the age of 5, Veronika began her career as a synchronized swimmer. She has trained in Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, rounding out her experience as an athlete. Veronika is not only a multiple-time National and Junior Olympic Champion, but she represented the United States on the Youth National Team for two years, earning three gold medals internationally in both individual and team events. With 16 years of experience, Veronika continues to express her love for this sport by coaching swimmers of all ages in NYC and performing locally and internationally at private events, showcases, and in commercials/on-camera gigs. 

She now pursues a degree in Film and Russian Translation at Pace University in Lower Manhattan. Her love for the water and artistic swimming pairs with her love of film and culminates in a passion for underwater cinematography. Outside of school and work, Veronika enjoys pursuing various artistic projects, playing piano, listening to music, and cooking.
