Abby Hilst
Abby Hilst
I recently graduated with a degree in Elementary Education from ISU and currently teach in Peoria. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to teach swim lessons at Five Points. I’ve been fortunate to work with an endless amount of terrific children and families. I swam competitively since the age of six for several local swim teams. I was an assistant coach for the Water Warriors and Metamora Area Swim Team. I’ve volunteered for HISRA’s Special Olympic Swim Team, I’ve taught at several facilities where I have worked with all ages and all skill levels! I have a lot of incredible experience working with children with special needs and view swimming as an essential skill to have for all learners. I am still just as much a student as I am a teacher in the water. I am constantly learning new ways to help others feel safe in the pool.
Abby has a variety of openings.
