Emily Metheny Bronze Coach

Emily has been swimming since she was nine when she first joined the LaPorte Turbos Swim Club in La Porte, Indiana. She continued to swim for La Porte High School where she named an Academic All-American her senior year. Thanks to her coaches, Emily fell in love with the sport and began coaching for her club team while teaching swim lessons in the summer. Emily joined the first recruiting class for Franklin College swimming in 2011 and swam distance freestyle and the 200 fly for the Grizzlies. During the spring, she taught lessons for Franklin Parks and Rec until she went home for the summer and coached for Turbos. After college, Emily coached three seasons for Whiteland Hypersonics Swimming, and she began as the Copper Coach with SIA in 2017. Emily married her high school sweetheart Anthony in October 2016.
