I’m Hali Scholl, and I am the Head Coach of the Blaine Bengals Girls Swim & Dive Team! I started swimming competitively at 7 years old and spent more than 10 years in the sport while growing up in North Dakota. The lessons I learned as a swimmer on hard work, resilience, and dedication continue to shape who I am today. After returning to the pool as a coach in 2020, I quickly rediscovered my passion for the sport and helping young athletes grow. I joined the Blaine Girls Swim & Dive program as a volunteer coach in 2024 before becoming Head Coach in 2025. I coach the boys swim team at Coon Rapids as well, where I began in 2022. I also coach with a local club swim program in the spring and summer so I’m at pools year round! Outside of coaching, I am a science teacher at Coon Rapids High School. I believe school sports are an extension of the classroom and provide opportunities to develop leadership, commitment, communication, and confidence. My goal is to help every athlete become not only a stronger swimmer, but also a stronger young woman. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the athletes and families of Blaine Swim & Dive and look forward to building a positive, competitive team culture while helping our swimmers reach their goals this season!
