Head Coach
  
Hey Tazarians, I am excited to be returning to Coach another season with the TAZ. I have been a swim coach for 9 years and swimming since age 4. This is my second year as Head Coach for the TAZ and my focus is to continue to develop: stroke technique, starts, and turns. I am currently attending Sacramento State University, studying kinesiology, with a focus in pre-therapeutic. Last season was a great success and we plan to build upon that success in the upcoming season. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns. GO TAZ!

Hey TAZ Swimmers & Families!

 

I'm so excited about the 2012 season, and returning as a TAZ coach for my second season!! I started swimming when I was 4, and have coached swimming for about 9 years as well as coached horseback riding for about 5 years. I love the "TAZ family" atmosphere and getting to know all the swimmers families – it reminds me of the team I grew up swimming on and coaching. Seeing the swimmers' progress in and out of the pool all season long is one of the best parts! We had an awesome season last year, and I think this year is going to be even better!! See you on the pool deck!

 

GO TAZ!!!

 

I am available for private lessons. 661-444-7824 or coachmarybeth@edhtaz.org

I will be graduating from Oak Ridge this year where I swam varsity all 4 years and qualified for sections in 200 I.M., 100 free, 100 breast, 100 fly, 50 free and my personal favorite 100 back, which I hold two TAZ records in. I also played water polo, was team captain and made all league honors. Next year I will be attending Sierra College where I will continue swimming and playing water polo. I look forward to seeing everyone at the pool! Go Taz!
