A lifelong swimmer since the age of 5, I never thought my career would involve swimming. It was only after I decided to stay home with my kids that I got involved with my community swim team that was just getting organized. A few short years later I discovered that the pool was my calling and I started my new career.
I have taught and coached at several levels over the last 20 years including: Learn-to-Swim, Summer League & USA Swimming Teams as well as US Masters. I am a USA Swimming Certified Coach with my American Swim Coaches Association Level 3 Education Certification. I started our community’s swim team in 2005 and continue coaching both at the Age Group as well as High School levels for many years. I spent the last 10 years overseeing and growing award winning Aquatics Programs for LifeTime Athletic, USFitness (formerly Sport&Health) and Kids First Swim Schools. I have come full circle to lead LetSwim into its next phase.

I started instructing while serving in the Marine Corps over 25 years ago. This set the stage many years later when I began teaching part-time for Kids First Swim Schools. Shortly thereafter, I became a successful swim school Manager for Kids First and then their DC District Manager. I was instrumental in assisting the Kids First Corporate office in hiring, training and opening more than 25 schools in the mid Atlantic region. Now as the co-owner of LetSwim, I am excited to bring my years of teaching and managing experience to your community.

As a lifelong lover of the water (just like her dad, Patrick) she did not go the traditional route to becoming a part of LetSwim. She took swimming lessons as a child into her teens, however her interests became very focused on other sports and Show Choir - insert jazz hands here! Although her swimming career ended, she does practice water safety and basic skills with her own little family of 4!
We are sure that her love for the water and swim safety shines through as she is excited to get to know all of the communities and work with the families of LetSwim! If you need help scheduling Private/Semi-Private lessons or getting enrolled in Group Lessons - please email her at sam@letswim.com
