Meet the Evolve Swim Instructors

Ashley Webster

Ashley has been teaching kindergarten for 22 years!  She is originally from Clinton, North Carolina.  After graduating from high school, she moved to Raleigh to attend Meredith College.  Where she also started teaching swimming lessons to kids.  Ashley graduated from Meredith with a degree in Early Childhood Education.   She taught Kindergarten in Raleigh for 20 years then moved to Wilmington last year to be closer to family.  

 When she is not teaching, she loves watching football, GO PACK!!  She also loves going to the beach and the lake, reading, spending time with friends and family and of course teaching kids how to be safe in the water. 

Ashley Chapman

Ashley has made a name for herself as one of the best freedivers in the world with 3 world records and 17 US national records in the sport. She currently holds all the US national records for depth while at the same time mothering an eight year old and a four year old, both of which have lots of hours in the water already.

“I love freediving but my current focus is on my children. Ren and I live on a boat so it is very important to make sure the children can swim.  Much like competitive freediving, the goal has always been to create a sense of water comfort. Teaching our children to swim and in their own turn, freedive, has been even more rewarding than any record I ever set at depth.”
