What do you love most about what you do?
I love seeing the gains our little swimmers make, from putting their eyes in the water, being able to swim on the noodle by themselves or simply even getting into the water with a smile of their face they are all huge achievements that deserve to be celebrated.

I also love seeing our older swimmers work hard to achieve their goals, week after week and then suddenly they get it. Their sense of accomplishment after working hard to achieve is well deserved.

When you are not in the pool, what are you doing?
I seem to always be in the pool or around a pool. I also Coach Squad and when I am not coaching, I’m being a Swim Mum and supporting my daughter at Swimming Carnivals. Sometimes I get to go hang out with little kiddos at Preschool too as an Educator.
