Do you live in Washington DC, Maryland or Northern Virginia? Are you a swimmer looking to improve your stroke? Do you want to join a Masters swim team, but don’t feel like you are good enough yet? Do you dream of doing a triathlon, but swimming is your nightmare?
If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then I can help. In addition to offering traditional personal training services in the Washington metro area, I now provide swim coaching. I offer private and semi-private coaching to intermediate and advanced swimmers who want to improve their stroke, increase their endurance, or learn to swim in open water.

I am a former High School All-American and Division I swimmer. I swam competitively at Boston College.

I am a nationally recognized endurance athlete. I made history when I swam 1,550 miles down the Mississippi River—from Minneapolis to Baton Rouge—becoming the first person in seventy years to swim North America’s longest waterway.

I am a former master’s swim coach. I was a coach for Southern California Aquatics (SCAQ) the largest adult swim team in the country. I coached numerous national champions and masters All-American Swimmers.
After 3 sessions with me, a happy client just sent me this testimonial:
“I’m delighted to let you know that the last 4 or 5 times I’ve gone to the pool I have swam 800 meters straight!! This is entirely down to your coaching and is very pleasing for me — bearing in mind that the first time I tried on my own I was able to only swim 50m.”
