Wendy Neely, Head Coach

My passion is swimming - I really love working with adults. I believe every adult should know how to swim with ease, comfort, and enjoyment.

As the years go by I continue to meet adults that are struggling with their swimming, my goal is to eliminate swimmers current stumbling blocks and move them forward to enjoy all that swimming has to offer; whether it is swimming for pleasure, rehabilitation or competition.

I have been coaching children for 6 years, adults for 3 years, and lifeguarding for 6. I understand the importance of water safety and education and am always excited to provide that education to new swimmers. I have enjoyed swimming my entire life and strive to give the gift of comfort in the water to as many people as possible.

I have been coaching / instructing children and adults for over 16 years.

I am inspired when adults make a decision to learn to swim or improve their skills. I am excited to be part of the process. My hope is that men and women gain a lifelong experience of swimming by learning in a welcoming, positive environment.
