Lori has been involved in coaching for a number
of years and has been part of New England

Haverhill, MA. She has been a coach for the

full-time as an assistant coach for the senior program

Merrimack Valley Pirates/ Magnus Aquatic Group/
Crimson
Aquatics since September 2002 after graduating
from Bates College in Lewiston, ME. During her time at
that

having the entire team qualify for Regionals,
placing 8th at 12 and Under Championships, and bringing
40
swimmers to 14 and Under Championships and
finishing 4th in all of New England. Lori is a Level

2011-2012 season. She will be responsible for
the seasonal training plans and will have involvement with
all
swimmers. We are Phoenix
