I don't really remember a time not being in the water.  At a young age my mother had myself and my siblings in swim lessons which then turned into swim team.  Her logic was we were all tired out and cleaned on a regular basis!  Growing up in North Carolina we belonged to the AAU swimming organization, swimming full winter seasons.  Carpooling was the way to go.  Tumbling down the driveway in the early morning hours, pop-tart in hand, we met our friend's mom who took us to AM workout.  My mom picked up and drove us to school.  On the way we ate the breakfast she had prepared for us.   Summers we joined an outdoor swim club, swimming and competing with friends from the winter program.  We basically lived at the pool, starting with the chilly early morning practice then playing all day in and out of the pool followed by afternoon practice then home.  With NC heat being what it is, it was the best place to be and besides, what kid doesn't want to hang out all day with their friends?!  Along the way I also studied dance and gymnastics, but swimming always remained a constant.  In high school I swam for our high school team.

Upon entering the University of NC, I took a break from swimming.  However, having always been an active person and one who enjoyed group activities, I searched for something to fill that void.  It was there I had the opportunity to explore the Korean martial art of TaeKwonDo.  The self-discipline and perseverance I learned from swimming lent itself to my martial art study.  TaeKwonDo I found also ev

oked the same life lessons I had learned by being part of a swim team.  Both disciplines allowed me to grow and challenge myself on an individual level as well as on a communal level.  Both stressed the importance of attention to the process –that it was from the journey that we learned, not the medal at the end. It also brought about my passion for teaching and working with children.  As a second degree black belt, I worked with both children and adults for 7 years – each age group bringing their own set of challenges and opportunities for me to grow from as a person.

With the many twists and turns life has brought, I am happy to once again have the opportunity to work with children in a sport I love.   I always tell people swimming is the one sport you will always be able to come back too, no matter how old you are or what condition your body is in.  I feel fortunate to be a part of this coaching team here at CBFYMCA and am dedicated to developing a healthy and comprehensive swimming program for your children.

I am also an ASCA Level 1 certified coach.
