Shelbi Campbell
Coach
Email
Shelbi began swimming at 3 months old in her backyard
pool. As a child, she discovered she had Scoliosis and joined
South San Francisco Aquatics to help strengthen her back,
successfully keeping her away from major back surgery. While
on the El Camino High varsity swim team, Shelbi personally went
undefeated as did her team which won the P.A.L Championship all
four years. She also swam for the College of San Mateo.
She is an All-American and received the Stand-Out-Swimmer award,
M.V.P. and Most Inspirational Athlete of The Year. The last
three years of her swimming Shelbi swam through two surgeries with
a broken wrist. Shelbi wants to teach the same love and passion she
has towards the water despite disabilities and difficulties
ultimately get swimmers to achieve their best.
Shelbi has coached for the Daily City Dolphins and the South San
Francisco Aquatics Club as a senior and age group coach. She
is currently a student at San Jose State University pursuing her
Bachelors’ Degree in Liberal Arts. Once she
completes her degree Shelbi wants to join the Navy as an Officer.
