 Tricia
started coaching swimming as an undergraduate assistant at North
Carolina State University – assisting with both the
men’s and women’s programs. After graduating with a
Masters degree in Food Science and Biochemistry, she moved to
Colorado. She worked for 5 years in the food and nutritional
supplement industries in both research and product development
before starting a family. Her three daughters have all
been actively involved in swimming and her own love for
swimming drew her back to the sport. She began coaching with
Wolfgang Dittrich in January 2009 and loves working with kids of
all ages.
Tricia began her own
competitive swimming career at age 10 in Durban, South Africa. She
swam with the Pinetown Otters and North Durban swim clubs while
growing up in South Africa. At age 15 she broke the South African
national record in the 800m freestyle and went on to also break the
400m and 200m freestyle national records. She was a member of the
South African National swim team and won numerous national titles.
At age 18 she left for the States on a full ride athletic
scholarship to North Carolina State University. While at NC State
she won four Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) titles (three in the
mile and one in the 500 yards freestyle). Her junior year, she
placed 10th in the mile at the Division 1 NCAA
Championships. She was a Collegiate Athletic and Academic
All-American. She swam in the British Olympic trials in 1984,
placing 3rd in the 800m freestyle.
