Coach Margaret coaches the most fun age group at NJST because swimmers are on the cusp of starting to grow and become strong! Their swimming can improve dramatically during this time, so Coach Margaret focuses on stroke technique and getting swimmers to feel smooth in the water, subsequently developing speed.  On deck, she teaches stretching, core strength exercises, and yoga to prevent injury.  Coach Margaret often reminds her swimmers how swimming helps with everything: sleeping, eating, studying, and managing stress better.  Inasmuch, continual personal improvement in swimming will assist with other aspects of life.

Coach Margaret is a lifelong swimmer, retired competitive triathlete, yoga practitioner, and avid hiker. She started teaching swim lessons in Littleton, CO as a teenager and has taught lessons or coached on and off ever since, either age group or adults. She quit swimming competitively in her senior year of high school due to burn out and started swimming competitively again after college, then transitioning into Olympic distance triathlons.  Instead of burning out, Coach Margaret advocates participating in multiple sports!
