Swimming has been part of my life since I was young. It started with me being the "demonstrator" for my mom while she taught swimming. From here I joined a club and progressed into swimming competitively. My passion for sport led me into coaching and completing a Sports Management Degree. I enjoy sharing knowledge on swimming and believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim. Feeling your body move through the water efficiently would be my ultimate goal for clients and assisting swimmers to grow both mentally and physically by challenging them out of their comfort zones.
