About Coach Emily
Coaching Philosophy
I believe that swimming should always be fun while working on improving technique and overall swimming ability. It is important that the kids swim slower to focus and learn the proper technique; than to swim faster and swim with improper form.
I like to keep the sport fun and teach swimming in interactive ways where kids will grow up and continue to love the sport rather than grow up hating the sport. It is my goal to always show love, patience, and encouragement to my swimmers so they themselves find their own passion for the sport.
