She was a competitive swimmer for 17 years racing both nationally and internationally. She now coaches swimming privately for competitive swimmers, ironman triathletes and beginner swimmers while pursing a full time career as a physiotherapist.

These workshops will offer swimmers an early season opportunity to get into open water before the race season begins.
