Coach Meredith feels that swimming has given her so much - great friends, great experiences, and a great work ethic to name a few and so she was eager to begin coaching. She started her coaching career in the summer of 2006 at the Stratford swim team with a winning season. From there she went on to be a coach for the Charleston swim team and for the past 2 years she has been coaching for the Burlington County YMCA Hurricanes swim team. She has had the opportunity to work with all age groups and talent levels at the Hurricanes. Both seasons with the Hurricanes she traveled with the national team to Florida for YMCA nationals. Coach Meredith feels that her experience both as a swimmer and a coach has prepared her for her new position at the Fish. She very much looks forward to working with the other coaches and to meeting the swimmers and their families!
