Swimming & Diving/Expert Profile
Expertise
I am a swimming and diving coach and ex-competitor with over 25 years of experience. I consider myself a technique expert and can offer suggestions on swimming and diving mechanics. I can also answer questions on the mental aspect of competing.
Experience in the area
I was an NCAA div II national qualifier in 5 events from 100 freestyle and butterfly as well as in the 1650yd. freestyle. I was also a springboard diver at this same level. I have coached all levels of athletes in both sports from beginner to Olympic caliber.
Awards and Honors
NCAA div. II All American and National record holder in 100 butterfly.
