Her deep experience in swimming allows her to adjust technique so that a swimmer can realize his or her potential. A winning combination that gets results!”  

 Amy Lenahan, parent

"Carolyn helped me in my development as an athlete, she also supported me emotionally and mentally, and I can still rely on her for this support today as a young adult. One of the most important factors of swimming success is the swimmer-coach relationship, and Carolyn’s passion for the sport and caring personality facilitates this kind of relationship."

Eleanor Beers, swimmer

"My 'swimmer IQ' expanded working with Carolyn and she trusted me to explore my ideas for improving in the pool.  Her coaching adapted as my needs grew, and I was always challenged to be active and aware. Being coached by Carolyn was always a collaborative experience."

Hannah Tonsmann, swimmer

. “Her ability to instantly identify areas for improvement in a swimmer’s technique is amazing and the endless pool provides immediate feedback to the athlete. Working with Carolyn allows swimmers to make stroke corrections more quickly than they would in a traditional pool environment. It’s a great compliment to a regular swim program”  

Phyllis McNeice, parent

"Carolyn's Endless Pool is a game-changer! The current exaggerates my strengths and weeknesses so I can recognize them. She watched me for just a couple of minutes and gave me some tips that were really easy to understand and feel, and now I put them to use in any aquatic setting."

Nils Tonsmann, masters swimmer

"Herniating my L4-L5 disc was devastating! Carolyn invited me to swim in her Endless Pool and I felt immediate relief from my injury, and was able to swim for large chunks of time in the current without worrying about turns at walls. The mirrors on the bottom, bone-conduction headset and current are amazing tools for swimming rehab, and improving technique."  

Kristine Cox, masters swimmer  

"Coach Carolyn is amazing when it comes to stroke analysis and technique work. She is quick to spot areas that can be optimized and can break down ideas exceptionally. The Endless Pool, with mirrors is an incredible tool for learning as you can see each stroke and adjust in real-time.  This experience is unparalleled."
