Lizzi Smith
Coach Lizzi is a 3-time U.S. Paralympian and 3-time Medalist, 13-time U.S. National Team Member, and 7-time World Championship Medalist with two decades of swimming experience. She served as team captain of the 2024 U.S. Paralympic Team and shares her passion for the sport as a lead clinician on the Fitter & Faster Swim Tour.
At HCAM, Lizzi brings her experience and love of the sport to Masters swimming. She believes that the pool should be a place where people of all ages and abilities can continue to learn and grow while building consistency, finding joy in the process, and forming a community that supports one another in and out of the water.
Born with one hand due to amniotic band syndrome, Lizzi joined her first swim team at 7 years old and found a space where she could challenge herself and be defined by her effort. Swimming became an outlet and provided community, shaping her confidence and showing that her difference can be a source of strength.
For Lizzi, swimming has always been about more than racing, it has been a place of growth and connection, and she is excited to share that vision with HCA Masters swimmers.
