OSSC Team Coach since: 2007
Jenn has been swimming since the age of 7, for 11 years with the Olympium. She is currently training with Sheilagh Croxon. Jenn has been on the National Junior Team for 3 years and has traveled to Florida for the Asua Cup, China for Jr. Worlds, and Hawaii for the U.S Open. She was also one of the Jr. Team soloists this past summer in Hawaii .
Jenn believes that coaching is such an important role in swimming. ‘I love to pass down my wisdom and experience I have learned through the years' says Jenn. ‘I still look back at all the fun I had when I started swimming and I would love my swimmers to look back on our fun as well. I would love for my girls to be awesome swimmers! I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge and of course having tonnes of fun!!'
One of Jenn's favourite quotes comes from Andy Higgins a well-known Canadian Track and Field coach. It is, "Successful people do the work that is needed to be done. That is what separates the winners from the others. You always need to give 110% of what you have everyday if you want to achieve your goals. It's really a matter of heart and having the right attitude.'
On a personal level, Jenn would love to win Nationals and pursue her dream to swim on the National A Team. We would love that too Jenn, and we will all be cheering you on!
