Meet the Coaches

Paula is a former age-group and college swimmer and coached age-group swimmers in a previous lifetime. After a long hiatus from swimming, she joined SWAM in 1999 and has been re-learning how to swim ever since. She is a nationally ranked breast-stroker.

Despite having a day job, Paula is a certified referee, serves as the records/top ten recorder for Alaska Masters,and is a member of two national USMS committees (officials and top ten).

"I first joined SWAM as a way to regain physical fitness after working a desk job for a number of years. I stayed because the people make it such a fun place to be. As a coach, my goal is to maintain that positive
environment while striving to meet the varied needs of our members."
