Embracing Adventure: Carla’s Active Life by the Water

When she's not coaching her team at DATS, Carla Brooks is rarely standing still. She splits her year between logging miles on the treadmill and greeting early mornings with sunrise runs by the ocean. Strength training fuels her sense of empowerment, while her love for water draws her outdoors for swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking adventures right from her home on the scenic Shuswap River. For Carla, staying active isn't just about fitness—it's preparation for exploring all the adventures life offers. With so much world yet to discover, Carla is enthusiastically just getting started.
