Kim's lifelong love of water and passion for teaching lead her to partner with Total Immersion in 1999. Initially, she participated in a Freestyle Workshop and a weeklong Four Strokes Camp intending to improve the performance of 10& under swimmers on a age-group swim team. From there Kim successfully used Total Immersion techniques, concepts and principles for vast improvement while coaching Age Group Club teams, Modified & HS teams, a Master team and Special Olympic team. She has also used it to run Learn-to-Swim programs and help countless athletes find peace and efficiency in the open water. Over the years she has had the privilege of teaching throughout the US and internationally including Canada, St. Lucia, Grenada, British Virgin Islands, US Virgin Islands, and Maldives. Her coaching experience includes Freestyle Workshops, Four Stroke Camps, Kid's Camps, Open Water Camps and educating new coaches during the Coach Certification Courses. Currently she enjoys working with individuals and small groups focused on specialized stroke improvement to aid students to excel in their training programs whether that be for general fitness, competitive racing or open water and triathlon events.
