Coach Heather started swimming competitively at age 5 for the Germantown Seahawk Swim Club. At the age of 13 she joined the Menomonee Falls Swim Club where she still holds the club record for the 200 Medley and 200 Free Relays. 

Heather attended Germantown High School where she was a 4 year letter winner and team captain and held school records in the 100 backstroke and 200 medley relay.  When Heather decided to swim at Wheaton College (IL) she thought she would continue to swim the 100 back.  Upon meeting her coach for the first time, he asked if she had ever swam the mile.  After answering truthfully, it was decided that she would be a distance swimmer for Wheaton and that was it.  She was a 4 year letter winner, making the Division III National B-cut in the 1,650 every year and being selected to swim at the Division III Nationals meet her junior year.   Heather graduated from Wheaton in 1998 with a BA in Literature.

Heather started coaching for Germantown in 1999 and worked over the years with the newer swimmers, including some current MFSC swimmers.  She worked one season as the assistant coach for the Germantown High School girls swim team.  When the high school pool closed and the swim club broke up, Heather took some years off to pursue her career with Baird.Coming back to the sport after a few years off, she noticed that even in that short time there were many new and exciting techniques and even new rules to learn.  What hasn’t changed over the years is that it is important for swimmers to have fun and learn new skills simultaneously.  It’s rewarding to teach kids about teamwork and respect at such a young age and watch the swimmers flourish in and out of the pool.
