Meet our Coaches
I am a senior at VMI (Virginia Military Institute) majoring in applied mathematics. I swam competitively for 15 years and have taught swim lessons for 6 years to anyone between ages 3 and 55 or above. Swimming has been a big part of my life since I was very young. I have always enjoyed teaching and instructing, so it is only natural that these be combined with swimming. I am looking forward to a competitive, fun, and great season this summer at LOW.
Call me Coach Tere. Originally from California. Graduate of UCSanta Barbara. Moved to Virginia in 1997. Started “snowbird “ ing 2018. Really enjoy winters in Florida. I have had various jobs from program director for the Girl Scouts to tax preparer for a small accounting firm. Full time mom and volunteer scout leader and soccer coach and manager. My favorite job has been assistant coach of the Sherando Sharks in Winchester , Virginia for 12 summer seasons. Semi- retired, married, three adult children and one grandchild.
I have been apart of the Lake of the Woods swim team for the past 13 years. I love swimming and being active. I have been a junior assistant coach for the past two summers, but now I am an official assistant coach! I am going to attend James Madison University in the fall with an elementary education major in hopes to become a teacher one day. I am super excited for a fun season!
