As a swimmer of the Fort
McMurray Swim Club at its inception over 40 years ago, there is a
big place in my heart for the clubs continued success and
accomplishment. I was blessed with great coaches when I swam to
National level and am so excited to be coaching the Mini Mantas
this year and helping Coach Jo take over the
Manta Swim School. My philosophy is to coach swimmers to work and
play in a fair manner, to help them set and work hard to achieve
challenging goals, and to do THEIR best and BE their best in
everything they do.

Coach Jo is in her second year as the swim school
coordinator. Coach Jo is no stranger to the pool. She
was a competitive swimmer for 12 years and her favorite race was
the 200 fly!!! She then went on to coach for 20 years in Kitimat,
BC prior to moving to Fort McMurray. Coach Jo passed on
her love for swimming to her children, with all 3 children
participating in competitive swimming, one at the national
level. Coach Jo is well versed in the life of a swimming
parent!!
Coach Jo's goal for the MSS program is to inspire in all the
kids a great love for the sport of swimming. But not just the
sport.......... also the sportsmanship, teamplay and the
friendships that will last for years. Lessons learned in the
pool can be put into your every day life. You can succeed at
anything you try, it only takes a little hard work and its a lot of
fun along the way.
Coach Jo can not wait to get to know all of her little swimmers
again this year.
