Summary
From being a competitive swimmer for eleven years to coaching for the summer league swim team that I spent years being a part of, I have the extensive knowledge and experience both as a former swimmer and as a coach. My time with Kent Swim and Tennis Club and with Valley Aquatics Swim Team has allowed me to grow as a coach and develop training plans, as well as fostering a positive and hard-working environment. As a USA Swimming Certified Coach, I have an even deeper knowledge about creating the proper training plans for specific age groups and how to coach technique properly. I am committed to guiding athletes in reaching their full potential while helping them to love the sport of swimming and to recognize the magic of summer league swimming.
