Caryn Calisi, a resident of Rocky Point, is an English teacher in the Brentwood Union Free School District. She is also a St. John’s University Scholar in its school building leadership program.

A former Division I swimmer for the Stony Brook University Seawolves, Caryn has been an active coaching member of USA Swimming (Metropolitan Division) for the past 11 years.

She contributes to the United States Olympic Committee, which supports  the athletes she has trained and the committees with which they are

involved.

“Instead of making the traditional charitable donation, fighting in this year’s charity event provides me a unique and exciting opportunity to bring awareness to community-based programs that provide assistance to our

neighbors who are truly in need of our love and support,” Caryn “The

Administrator” Calisi said.

“This past summer, I joined Body Shot in St. James to get back

in shape and I’m grateful for the time Eric, Dan, James, Bill, Frank, Sam

and Mike have invested in me. Their talents and personal commitment

to their athletes help shape us into fighters with both character and

stamina,” she added.

Caryn has been a longtime supporter of Memorial Sloan Kettering’s cancer research program. She is also a member of the Phi Delta Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi and Pi Lambda Theta.
