Lissa Latella

Business Owner

SwimBox - Arlington, VA

SwimBox co-owner Lissa started swimming at the ripe old age of 6 and has been living with pruney fingers ever since. She grew up swimming on local NVSL Swim Team the Dunn Loring Dolphins, local PVS club swim teams Potomac Marlins & Machine Aquatics, and finished out her swimming tenure on the Varsity Swim Team at the University of Mary Washington. After graduating from UMW Lissa took up crossfit and dove back into competitive swimming for another year before hanging up her goggles and settling down with SwimBox for the long haul. Her love of swimming is comparable only to her obsession with food, which she’ll definitely find a way to bring up during her lessons. Lissa likes to say that swimming has given her everything, and she loves to give back to the sport by sharing her knowledge and devotion with her clients looking to fine tune their technique, improve their times & efficiency in the water, learning to swim for the first time, or simply wanting to gain that little extra edge over their competition.
