"Where Swimming is more that just a Sport, It's a Passion!"
"Where Swimming is more that just a Sport, It's a Passion!"
Anitra Fulton, Program Director
Anitra was born April 7th in Columbia, SC. She moved from there to Oak
Ridge, NC at the age of 16 with her 3 siblings and parents. After graduating
from Greensboro Technical College in 2000 with an Associate Degree in
Emergency Medical Science/Paramedic, she attended two years at the
University of North Carolina in Greensboro as a Biology/Pre-Med student.
Anitra and her husband Michael have two children. Liam age 5 and Charley
Grace age 1. The four of them reside in High Point with their two dogs Luke
and Toby. Anitra enjoys life as a working mom and has had her son Liam
swimming since he was 4 months old. She enjoys having both her children
active in swim lessons. Anitra's first swimming experiences began for her at 6
months of age, when her parents took her to her first water-babies class. Her
mother was determined that all her children would be strong swimmer's for
life, so Anitra continued taking swim lessons until the end of her grade school
years. She has spent most her life in and around water. People find it most
surprising that Anitra was a beach life guard in Myrtle Beach, SC in her early
20's. She also went on to achieve certifications in life guarding, CPR, swim
instruction, aquatic therapy/water exercise instructing and USA coaching. She
has been teaching year round swim lessons for almost 14 years. Anitra is the
Program Director and Business Owner of Swim Fanatics, Inc.
