Coaching Philosophy

Coach Julie is our Team Administrator and leads our learn to swim program.  With learn to swim students, she works to build trust and connection in order to foster a positive and fun learning environment.  When necessary, she helps athletes to overcome fears associated with water; all while teaching technqiue needed to help reach the athlete's swim goals. 

When coaching our youngest club athletes, she is a proponent of developing critical thinking skills.  This is done by promoting independence and accountability. Teaching children to be self aware and in control of their progress, not only helps them to develop strong swim fundamentals quickly, but also translates to success in other areas of their lives.  She uses drills, games and visual techniques to create a strong team atmosphere and prepare young athletes for advancement.

She is also a Nutrition Consultant and is available to work with athletes, whether is to overcome health concerns, or to help gain a competitive edge through diet and body awareness.
