Britt loves drinking black coffee, sitting on swiss balls, and writing autobiographies. She dislikes foggy goggles, lukewarm foods and drinks that should be hot, and having water in her ears. Her favorite type of sauce is worcestershire, and her favorite color is orange. Fun fact: Britt first started swimming with BVSC at age 8, and competed for the Buena Bulldogs. After swimming as a walk-on at UCLA for one season, she found her real niche in triathlon in 2008 and hasn't looked back. In 2011, she started coaching for BVSC. Driven to merge her passions for coaching and nutrition, Britt completed her Masters in Nutrition in 2014, focusing her research on endurance athletes. In 2015, she became a USA Triathlon certified coach, and will soon be adding a USA Weightlifting certification to her coaching quivver (just for fun). She currently LOVES working with adult and youth triathletes, and enjoys competing in ITU draft-legal triathlons.

Sport has been and continues to be a way of life for me. In my early days I found success in a variety of sports, including, swimming, water polo, basketball, track and field, soccer, volleyball and Triathlons. The rewards of sport opened many doors; a swimming scholarship to the University of Utah, NCAA D1 All America honors, international travel and competition, assistant men’s NCAA D1 swimming coach, a degree in coaching lifetime sports, and later a water related career.

From age 16, I was a seasonal Ocean Lifeguard for Ventura County. After college I returned to my roots and began coaching Channel Islands Aquatics and Oxnard High School boys and girls swimming. Soon I was off to Catalina Island working for Los Angeles County Fire Department as a Paramedic Lifeguard in Avalon and the Isthmus.  I later was promoted to Rescue Boat Captain Paramedic and recently finished out my career of 39 years of service.

I returned to competitive sport in my late 40’s by taking up open ocean paddling and traveled with the US Team to Fiji and Australia where I finished top in my division. Also completed a couple Catalina Classic 32 mile paddleboard races with high finishes.

In 2009 I sustained a traumatic brain injury while surfing in Mexico and was asked by my wife to find something less life threatening to participate in. That’s when I joined VCM and began the road back to competitive swimming. Now full circle, I returned one year ago to the deck and coaching.  I feel honored to be apart of this team and to work with such dedicated adult athletes.   Your daily commitment to pre-dawn workouts is inspirational and I’m proud to be a part of the team.
