Meet and Greet-Bre

Hello!

My name is Breanne James. I usually go by Bre, since it's a lot easier for everyone to remember. I am 26 years old and this is my first year teaching swim lessons through the CYS SKIES. I coached the Stuttgart Piranhas Swim Team for two seasons as an assistant. I also ran a Spring Training session for them between those two seasons. I started competitive swimming at the age of 14 but had swim lessons from the time I was four. While competing for my many various teams I specialized in both the 100 meter Breaststroke and the 100 meter Butterfly. I have been to the Northern California Sectional Championships three times and to California All-State Championships twice.

I graduated from high school in 2003, where I left for the Army as a 68Q Pharmacy Technician. I married my high school sweetheart, Charlie, in April of 2004 and later joined him in Germany one year later. After leaving active duty in July 2008 from Wiesbaden, we moved to Stuttgart where I began pursuing my degree in the field of pharmacy with aspirations to one day becoming a pharmacist through the University of Washington. I am a reservist now and part of the 196th Medical Support Unit- Europe under the 7th CSC. I am the oldest of five, all of which are girls. I have 2 dogs, Daisy and Jack, both are beagles and are spoiled rotten. I love to travel and read books on just about anything. I enjoy all sports, but live for swimming, soccer, and softball. Though I spent half my life in California, I still remain loyal to my Washington teams and root for the Seahawks, the Mariners, and the Sounders.

I look forward to getting to know each and every swimmer!
