I am finishing my Freshman year at Stratford High School where I played Varsity Water Polo and swam on the Varsity Swim Team. I have been doing Club Swim Team at Dad's Club for 7 years and I did the YMCA Dragons for 2 years before that. My first swim team experience was with the Westchester Dolphins back in 2014. Swimming is a passion of mine and I just love being in the water. I am excited to be a Coach this year and help your child become a better swimmer and fall in love with swimming like I have.
