After years rocking the mom blog world, Katy Myers did something big (and a little bit wild) in 2023—she launched Creative Hive Marketing! She’s bringing her marketing know-how to small businesses with a fresh, creative spin, and she’s having a blast doing it. Fueled by her obsession with connecting people, Katy also kicked off The Hive, a buzzing network where women business owners connect, collab, and cheer each other on.

Katy’s Anne Arundel County born and raised, now wrangling three rowdy boys in the same hometown she grew up in. With over 20 years of marketing know-how, she’s all about helping local businesses thrive and become neighborhood legends. 

And when she’s not carting kids around or volunteering, you’ll find her happily lost in a long bike ride, escaping into the pages of a great book, or experimenting with a new recipe!

Assistant CCA Coach & YPSS Instructor

My mother taught me how to swim at a very young age (3 years old). It wasn't until I was in college when I learned proper stroke techique and how well I could swim. After years of a hiatus from the pool, I reconnected with my love of swimming thru the world of Triathlons. In 2014 I participated in my first TRI and my love for swimming was re-ignated. I started supporting open water swimmer (which I absolutely love). My youngest son started swimming in a summer swim league where I volunteered as a timer and handing out awards. From there I apprenticed as a Stroke and Turn judge with USA Swim. I am proudly certified with the American Red Cross, as a Water Safety Instructor! And, I hold my Lifeguard certification through the American Red Cross.

As an instructor I feel it is important to be a good listener. Yet it is also important to teach proper strokes and breathing. I consider myself to be a compassionate Coach!
