Coach Kristin started swimming competitively for DFAC when she was 9 years old. Going to nationals at 14 in Nashville, TN, she was also a four time state qualifier in high school.  Kristin had a first place finish in the 400 free relay which helped her team get a second place finish overall her junior year (one of my favorite personal swim memories).  Kristin graduated from UW-Parkside in 2006 with a Bachelors of Art with an emphasis is graphic design.  Formerly a coach at Waterloo (where she found her love of coaching), Coach Kristin is excited to be back with WAT!  She love art, hanging out with my kids, and of course swimming.
