Throughout my career as an athlete and coach, I’ve witnessed the challenges swimmers face when proper coaching and athlete-centered training are missing. Programs often lack the resources, knowledge, or focus to bring out the best in their athletes. TIDE Swimming was created to change that narrative, providing a program where swimmers receive the expert guidance, cutting-edge training, and support they need to succeed. Our mission is to elevate every athlete and ensure their growth and success remain at the core of everything we do.

My journey in swimming began unexpectedly when a coach noticed my potential as I played in my grandmother’s apartment complex pool. That moment sparked a love for the sport that grew into an eighteen year long career. As an athlete I specialized in freestyle, butterfly, and breaststroke. Along the way some of the recognitions I earned were First and Second Team All-State, set school and state records, and was honored as Outstanding Senior in Swimming. These accomplishments, while rewarding, stemmed from the belief and guidance of coaches I have had the absolute honor of playing for both in the sport of swimming and outside as well. An experience I strive to replicate for every swimmer I mentor.

I graduated from Dean College in December 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Coaching and Recreation Management. My commitment to professional growth continues as I plan to pursue advanced degrees (master and soon after a doctorate) in kinesiology and biomechanics. Over the years, I have earned more than twenty certifications in pool and strength training, equipping me to address the unique needs of competitive swimmers. By attending conferences held by organizations like International Swim Coaches Association (ISCA) and taking courses through USA Swimming, I stay at the forefront of the sport, ensuring that my methods remain innovative and effective.

This past summer, I had the privilege of coaching at the University of Florida’s prestigious Gator Swim Camp. Over five sessions, I worked with athletes nationwide and had the unique opportunity to shadow UF’s elite coaching staff. Witnessing the preparation of their professional team for the Olympic Trials and the Paris Olympic Games was transformative. Observing world-class athletes train alongside top-tier coaching gave me invaluable insights into developing swimmers at every level.

At TIDE Swimming, we are dedicated to providing athletes with a holistic training experience. From stroke refinement and mental preparation to race strategies and overall growth, we focus on building well-rounded swimmers who excel in and out of the pool. Success is not accidental—it’s earned, stroke by stroke, and at TIDE we make every one count.
