Hey there! I love coaching kids and adults, and I love swimming! I started swimming on a team at age 8 and became competitive at 13. I set a league record in the 100 yd Breaststroke at 16, and when my swim career ended at 19 due to an injury, I began my coaching journey! I co-coached a brand-new team to a second-place victory at Champs in year one, and in the second year, we took first! After I stopped coaching, I became a personal trainer and developed a deep understanding of physiology and effective programming. So, whether it's teaching basic water safety to a beginner, acclimating them to the water and equipping them with the skills they need to enjoy the water safely, or refining the technique of a more experienced swimmer, I'm your guy!
