Summary
I’ve spent years in different pools across MA and VA and fell very at home there. Teaching stoke refinement is something I enjoy, from young children to adults. Seeing swimmers improve their times and qualify for big meets as well as growing a team mentality in an “individual sport” are challenges I love to take on.
