Hi, I'm Julia, and I have been a swimmer for 11 years; I am currently swimming for the University of Denver. I've had previous coaching experience at my club team, Rocket Aquatics; I coached our beginner pre-competition lessons, all the way up through middle-school and high-school age kids.
At Rocket Aquatics, I coached swimmers with a wide range of abilities. I taught 4-6-year-olds the basics of swimming through our pre-competitive program. I coached elementary-aged kids through our traditional clinic program, and also middle and high-school-aged kids in our High School training groups. Having the opportunity to work with all ages and abilities has allowed me to grow my coaching skills in many settings.
I worked as a lifeguard at our high school pool, surveilling the pool solo in the mornings from 5:30-7 and at night from 7-9. I performed opening and closing duties, kept the pool maintained and pool supplies organized, and also lifeguarded for special events (like triathlons).
