OBG Adventure Camps is pleased to announce that Allyson Bailey - fondly referred to as Alley - is CampCaribe's new Aquatics Director & Assistant Camp Director! Woo hooooo!Alley earned her water wings at the early age of 5 with a local YMCA in Los Angeles as a member of an all-Black Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) swim team called the Los Angeles Marlins. She swam with the Marlins through junior high school and at the age of 14 became a junior lifeguard with the Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation. In high school, Alley made "All City" in her senior year and was on the swim team at Santa Monica Community College, where she participated in an entirely new level of training and competition. In Alley's second year on the team, she made "All American" in both an individual event and team relay. Alley was the first Black female beach lifeguard in Los Angeles County and worked as a lifeguard for 9 rigorous, demanding and awe inspiring years. Currently, Alley is a certified water aerobics instructor with the Aquatic Exercise Association and is the 9 year owner and operator of Aqua Fit, an aquatics fitness program based in Los Angeles.
CampCaribe is privileged and proud to have Alley as a member of its team!
