You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.
— Michael Phelps

Coaching Team

Competitive Swim Coaching that helps you push the reset button in Performance.

Competitive swimmers exhibit high academic achievement and life success, learning self-discipline, time management, and commitment to a goal through their training. One to one technique coaching helps swimmers to gain confidence in practicing correctly. The athlete benefits most when there is a coaching team that includes technique coach, parents, and club coach working together to support stroke technical changes. The process can be challenging and requires diligence and many trials, but the results seen in meet performance are rewarding! 

In coaching the swimming athlete, I take into account chronological and developmental age, ability level, body type, and short- and long- term goals. An evaluation of all the strokes is made and when necessary, a home exercise plan will be recommended for swimmers that exhibit hyper flexibility, muscular imbalance, or inadequate core and leg strength. Targeted stroke drills, over-correction methods, and full stroke building are implemented so old habits are replaced by new ones to become the new normal. Dive starts and turn quality and efficiency are emphasized during lessons as well.

Your coach, Joanne M. Koury is credentialed with USA Swimming and the American Swim Coaches Association Level 3, is an Exercise Physiologist and has over 40 years of coaching and teaching experience. Check out the tab about Your Coach for more details on Joanneā€™s credentials.
