Savanna brings an impressive range of experience to LCSC! She served as an Assistant Coach with Liquid Lightning / Royal Swimming starting in 2024, where she worked with swimmers ranging from novice through senior levels while assisting with training plans and club operations. Her coaching approach emphasizes strong technical foundations, steady development, and clear communication with swimmers and families.

Before moving into coaching, Savanna competed at a very high level. She swam collegiately at Eastern Michigan University, where she was recruited by legendary coach Peter Linn, and later completed her career at Wayne State University. During her collegiate career she earned multiple victories and top-five finishes, including a 5th-place finish in the 1650 freestyle at the Mid-American Conference Championships. Earlier in her career in Kanata, Ontario, Savanna qualified for Canadian Olympic Trials twice and was a five-time Canadian Senior National qualifier, giving her firsthand experience with the preparation required for high-level competition.

Savanna is married to her husband, Noah Carden and together they have a baby boy, also named Noah. As a family, they enjoy travelling, watching baseball and spending time outside with family and friends.
