When it comes to my coaching philosophy.  I am a big believer in the idea of how one's body feels, and what is going through one's mind before and after each race.  Helping with ideas, race strategy and mental positivity is one of my biggest focus points as a coach. When getting to the heart of the season in regards to racing, meets and practice there is no other place I would rather be than on the pool deck.  Being able to coach everyday, talking to the team and getting to know them/what they want to work on throughout the practice, week or even the season really helps me focus on what should be prioritized when writing for practice groups.  I have had the great fortune to work with wonderful athletes, and they are a huge reason why I love coaching.  Being able to connect with them and just help when they are on and off the pool deck really helps make that connection stronger, and also helps build trust between myself and the team

My name is Madeline McKim (Maddie), and I am a recent graduate from Loyola Marymount University. Growing up in a military family, I moved often and had a wide variety of life and swimming experiences, including learning from many coaches and connecting with many teams. It is as a result of these opportunities that I developed a fondness for the competitive swimming industry. My experience with swimming taught me how integral athletic activities are for the well being of individuals and the development of important life skills, such as adaptability and collaboration. In high school, I worked as a summer swim instructor, and during my first year of college, while I was home due to school covid-19 closures, I worked as an Age Group/Pre-Team coach with my previous club. It was in these positions I learned about coaching and the organization of athletics. While pursuing my degree at LMU, I worked as a private swim instructor and a lifeguard to continue learning more about coaching and athletic management. In Spring of 2024, I graduated with Summa Cum Laude and a bachelor's degree in communication studies and a minor in business administration. Connecting the studies of communication within organizations and the investigation of management and business goals, I intend to utilize both fields of study to grow within my career in athletics.
