All! As you know last week, I co-hosted a webinar with Olympian, Samantha Livingstone from Livingstone High Performance. This webinar was SUPER well attended, and gave our audience some great nuggets of information to help them during this time!

Welcome back to Episode 3 of our Social Isolation Podcast! This week, I’m sharing with you a discussion I had with Head Coach, Matt Grant, and the swimmers of Valdosta Aquatics.

Stuck in quarantine? Yeah, me too. I was actually just writing a social media post when it dawned on me that there are many swimming coaches out there SCRAMBLING to try and figure out what to do for their swimmers. It was almost like a lightbulb went off in my brain, because I was like […]
A few years back I wrote an article for Alert Diver Magazine, and it dawned on me that that article IS very relevant to all swimmers right now. After all, you can find hours upon hours of content from coaches claiming — THESE are the BEST Swimming Resistance Band Exercises, but who actually know, right? […]

There’s LOTS of swimmers out there that experienced adversity within their past swim season due to COVID-19. Most of you are at home sifting through your emotions and trying to figure out your next steps with the new path you’ve been placed on. With this, I decided what better way to understand and empathize with […]
I felt a calling a few days ago to start doing what I can for those in need. Since I work online I figured one of the best ways to do this was help all the swimmers in need that don’t have access to a pool. Most people don’t know that my educational background is […]
Well it’s no surprise here that many of you are grieving the loss of your current swim season. The kids on my team experienced the abrupt halt to their season ending, missing their state meets by a DAY—can’t imagine. But just like with life, we have to roll with the punches and ‘ride the wave’–I […]
