I have been passionate about swimming since my first swim meet thirty years ago. My journey with the sport has afforded me amazing experiences with inspiring people from around the world! My life prior to a successful English Channel Crossing in 1994 was spent swimming competitively at prominent swim programs throughout the country. My reprieve from the black line on the bottom of the pool was found at an open water swimming camp in Northern Canada. It was there that I learned that swimming was more than a number on a stopwatch. I discovered that it was communion with a presence more powerful than me. I work with all abilities and age groups from ‘learn to swim’ to elite tri-athletes. Across the spectrum, athletes and recreational swimmers have benefited from my knowledge, experience, and passion for improvement centered, mindful swimming. Total Immersion allows me to connect with an approach that shares my sense of ‘oneness’ with the water and that deepens my understanding of the technical elements of efficiency. I am excited to be a Certified Coach and to share my enthusiasm with anyone that seeks a new experience in the water to get faster or just simply, to enjoy it! This year I competed in the Potomac River Swim (7.5) miles and will compete in the 1st Annual Swim around Charleston, SC on Oct. 23rd (12 mi.) I am grateful to my husband and two children for their support and encouragement!
