Hello! My name is Nick McDonald, and I have been a swim coach for 4+ years for ages 18 months old - adults. I was a member of a competitive swim team for 13 years of my youth, and transitioned to coaching, to give back the wonderful experience I had, to the next generation. I have also coached kids in sports like Climbing, Skiing, and Martial Arts, and have found coaching to be incredibly rewarding. Swimming is a fundamental skill, and I am excited to share it with anyone who wants to learn!
