Emily Zapinski
Digital Marketing Manager
Emily grew up in Dallas, Texas and always loved the water! Since leaving her hometown, she has moved to locations all around the world. Although she started her swimming journey with the Southlake Stingrays at age 6, her swimming eventually took her to swim in college, captaining the women’s team at the University of Alabama.
Emily’s path first crossed with Swim Like A. Fish when she swam an open water race around the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia, and met SLAF’s founder, Abbie Fish. Abbie and Emily quickly became friends, and realized their skill sets complemented each other well. She has since taken on writing and creative roles in a dozen different start-ups. She frequently tells people that Swim Like A. Fish is the company that she wished she had as a young swimmer, and works hard to give swimmers the tools they need to swim their fastest!
“And then I realized that to be more alive – I had to be less afraid so I did it. I lost my fear and gained my whole life.”
