I’ve always loved the water and have been teaching or coaching swimming since I was 15! My competitive swimming career took me to Towson University where I was a 4-time letter winner, record holder, and team captain for the Tigers D1 swim team. After college, I continued to help coach the team for several years, and have since held many coaching roles for swimmers of all ages and levels of expertise. I’ve always been a teacher at heart and take great pride in helping others achieve their goals, whether in the pool, on the baseball field, or in their professional careers. I love leading this team and believe anyone can learn to swim!

In addition to teaching lessons, I'm excited to be the 2024 Head Coach of the SRAC TigerSharks swim team. I look forward to helping each swimmer I teach/coach grow in their love for the water and become the best swimmer they can be!

Hey there, I'm Jen! While swimming isn't my background, I've been by Darryl's side for nearly three decades, nurturing his love for the sport. Whether it was watching him compete, coach swimmers of all levels, or sitting by his side cheering on our four kids in their swimming endeavors, my enthusiasm for swimming has blossomed. My expertise lies in business operations, organization, marketing, and design. While the team is in the water, I ensure the smooth functioning of our business. Occasionally, you'll find me in the pool with your little ones, a delightful experience where I can utilize valuable insights from over the years!

I'm always interested in doing things that involve kids, and helping them learn to be safe in the water is important to me.  I've not personally swum competitively but have been around the sport, supporting a few in my life that have devoted their time to swimming. I've learned so much, l love being around the water and can't wait to get swimming with your little ones!

My main events/strokes are the 200 and 100 butterfly and the 200 and 100 backstroke.
