Hi, I'm Cadence. I'm a biochem major at UIC and have been coaching/teaching for about 3.5 years. I have coached for many different levels of swim team and am not afraid to hop in the water with my athletes if/when they need a demonstration or technique adjustments. I try to employ several different teaching tactics so that no matter who I'm coaching I'm catering to the way that they learn. I believe that improvement is the sum of small adjustments which means that whatever your personal goal achieving it will be a collaborative experience of goal setting and detailed planning of how to make the changes needed to reach those milestones. *Please message me for additional availability

This coach is unavailable for new bookings
I swam at a private competitive club for most of my childhood before becoming a lifeguard and coach at 16 which I am still doing.
I try to give people I'm training a mix of drill and stamina building to help them reach their training goals. I am also ready to hop in at any point to help my athletes out
My sessions are usually an hour longs and will include a long distance warm-up, a stroke or technique specific drills on a time interval, a final time interval set to put together everything we've just practiced, and a mid distance cool down.
I have been teaching/coaching kids from ages 5-14 at all different skill levels for the last 3 and a half years.
The best coach I've ever had was actually a volleyball coach I had when I was in middle school. He was super willing to listen to me about what I wanted to improve on while also being able to balance what he wanted me to learn.
I am super into making sure the athletes I'm training understand why they are doing the training they're doing and how the drills or workouts they're doing are gonna help them improve. (This does mean I talk a lot!!)

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.
