So true!

To all the families that teach/or have taught; I want to say thank you for helping me to become the instructor and person I am. I also want to say thank you for allowing me into your lives and to be able to seee your children grow, not only as swimmers but being able to see them progress into wonderful little human beings. This is the hardest post I’ve ever had to write. Some of you may know, for those that do not, I will be leaving Oregon and moving back to NJ. During the past few months, I have been dealing with some personal issues and in order to continue to be the best coach I can be I need to take some time and figure a few things out. I’m sorry it has to come to this. I know this isn’t going to be easy for anyone involved but please know that I care deeply about everyone I coach and have coached. Please don’t look at this as a goodbye, but as a see you again when the time is right. I hope that everyone will continue to share with me the progress yours kids are making as they will always be a part of my life! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Again; thank you so much!

I hope all the amazing moms I know have a wonderful and relaxing Mother’s Day!!!

This is amazing!
