Drowning...I Mean COACHING Kids


I have always assumed I would end up coaching, be it swimming, soccer, rugby, or whatever. Swimming is the most natural fit. Though I'm a competent soccer player and a pretty good rugger, I was a nationally ranked swimmer and more or less know what I'm looking at in the pool.


Poulsbo Piranhas Swim Team Coaching for the Poulsbo Piranhas Swim Team kind of fell in to my lap. Though I've always known that I would coach something someday, my need for extra income and a Piranhas coach leaving happily coincided, and I couldn't be happier.

My kids are awesome to work with. Nearly every day, I've got someone who makes a breakthrough in their technique, their stamina, or most importantly their desire to swim well. I'm probably spoiled in that I get to work with the intermediate swimmers most of the time, and they are the ones who are capable of the quickest improvement, so I often get a nearly instant payoff for my work.

It's Great!!!
