Coach Laura is happy to be joining the team of coaches for the Mariners. Being a former swimmer and a parent of swimmers from Mariners, it is great to be experiencing another side. Her love of swimming has been life long. Coach Laura believes it is the best sport for overall conditioning of one's body that can be picked up throughout one's life. Her competitive swimming began at Bolton Hill Swim and Tennis as a young child specializing in breaststroke, "the best-stroke". Though her college did not have a swim team she continued to swim and integrate it in her training for marathons as well as triathlons.
