Meet the Coaches

At just five years old, Ausra plunged into the world of competitive swimming in Lithuania, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. Her passion for the sport carried her through high school and college, ultimately earning her a spot on the Lithuanian Olympic swim team.
With over three decades of coaching experience spanning both Europe and the United States, Ausra has made a significant impact on the aquatic community.
In addition to her coaching prowess, she dedicated herself to teaching Physical Education at Long Ridge School in North Stamford, where she not only educated young minds but also orchestrated after-school games for an impressive 18 years.
Under her guidance, several of her swimmers have achieved remarkable milestones, qualifying for USA National and Junior National competitions, and even earning collegiate All-American honors.
Locally, Ausra has left her mark as a coach for the Darien Piranhas Swim Club and Convent of Sacred Heart High School. Now celebrating her 29th year as head coach of the Orca’s Italian Center Swim Club, she continues to inspire young athletes. As a co-founder of the Orca’s Swim Club and currently serving as Aquatics Director for nine years, Ausra’s legacy in the swimming world is nothing short of extraordinary.

Marc Marenco began his professional journey at the Italian Center in 2012, starting as a lifeguard. His passion for swimming and teaching quickly led him to transition into a swim instructor role, where he honed his skills and developed strong connections with his students.
By 2018, Marc had advanced to the position of lifeguard and swim instructor supervisor, showcasing his leadership abilities and dedication to safety. That same year, he took on the exciting role of coach for the Orcas swim team, guiding young athletes in their competitive pursuits.
Marc holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and electronic media from the University of Scranton, which has equipped him with excellent communication skills.
Known for his personable and outspoken nature, he is always open to engaging in conversations or answerng any questions you may have. Whether you’re seeking advice on swimming techniques or simply want to chat about the sport, Marc is approachable and eager to help.

Jon is keenly passionate about swimming, physical fitness, sports performance, strength training, rest and recovery, nutrition, and flexibility training. He is a certified USA Swimming Coach, and holds his Personal Trainer certification through NASM. He feels strongly that the only way to properly coach is to make sure his athletes and clients understand the science or theory behind the concepts being taught.

Celeste Beaver is a highly qualified Aqua Aerobic instructor with a diverse background in fitness. Her extensive experience includes roles as a Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor, and Group Fitness Instructor. This multifaceted expertise allows her to offer a comprehensive approach to fitness that caters to various needs and abilities.
Leveraging her skills, Celeste has developed an innovative five-day program designed to enhance overall fitness. This program seamlessly integrates different exercise modalities, including anaerobics, barre, aqua belts, and traditional aerobics.
Participants can expect a well-rounded experience that emphasizes strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. Each day of the program focuses on specific goals while maintaining an engaging and supportive atmosphere.
Celeste’s commitment to fostering a healthy lifestyle shines through in her classes, making them suitable for individuals at any fitness level. With her guidance, participants will not only improve their physical fitness but also gain confidence in their abilities.

Hadas holds a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification (RYT) and is a member of the Yoga Alliance. Additionally, she is a certified Pilates instructor and a lifelong learner in the field of movement. Having spent her formative years abroad as a dancer, physical activity has always been a fundamental aspect of her existence.
She finds the Vinyasa Yoga practice to be both energizing and enlightening, much like dance itself. She firmly believes in building strength through the safe and stable approach of Pilates, which is free from excessive bouncing.
For several years, she has been teaching pilates, yoga and water aerobics classes at the IC, where it is rewarding to witness members experiencing the benefits of these physical practices while also fostering a sense of community.
In her personal time outside of teaching she enjoys reading, engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds, hiking, and she is aspiring to become a chef in the future.
