I have been a runner and a swimmer my whole life. When I was 14 I began giving swim lessons to my mom who now competes in Ironmans and triathlons all across the world. I ran my own business while living in Texas. I coached over 200 kids in my time of coaching back at home. I also competed in track in college where I became a lead 800 m runner in the nation. I hold the school record at my college for track and also competed on the 4x400 team as well as the cross country team all throughout college
I am a person who is very enthusiastic. I believe encouragement is Important to keep the kids engaged in what they are doing. I have great track workouts for speed or even ways to build endurance for my longer distance runners. I really am a strong believer that the more work you put into your dreams and goals the more likely you are going to achieve them. Also most people think that being an athlete is all about being good at t he sport you do but small mechanical things such as stretching, abs and strength training are really what is going to be the small thing that separates you from your opponent
depending on the sport a typical swim lesson looks like getting you aware with the water then going into learning to kick just holding on to my arms working on keeping your legs straight to ensure you get started with good habits first them we will back off and just progress through steps of how to swim and how to remain clam in the water. For a track session I would have kids stretch for about 5-10 mins then run some drills as well as some strides to get the legs warmed up for a workout. It would all depend if I had sprinters or long distance runners training they would have different layouts of workouts.
I have been coaching swim since I was 14 and I would say it is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done in my life. I am a firm believer that learning to swim is a life skill that everyone needs to have. I had the comfort of coming in my own backyard back at home as well as working at the YMCA, Country clubs or even summer league swim teams. I am someone who is easy going but do a very good job taking them through the steps to ensure the child is set up for success.
The best coach I ever had was my second college coach I just transferred to the university and he took a chance on me and believed in me more then I did at the time after coming off a broken ankle he reminded me there were gonna be some bad days but we got through my bad days together and really celebrated the big wins I had at practice. It helped me remember that I am human and it's okay to come back slowly and eventually get to where my highest potential was. I went through a lot of adversities but he never gave up on me.
I am someone who wants to encourage and help your child chase their dreams. I am someone who knows how hard it is to get there but the reward on the other side is more rewarding than I can even explain. Tough love and fun is what kept me in my sports for a long time and took me places I would have never been if I gave up on myself even when I broke my ankle. I understand listening to your body and having tired practices. My goal is to make main priority is help your child set goals and be by their side to reach them or help them up when they go through times of doubt and frustrations.

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
