LET’S GO SWIMMING! Growing up on the Eastern Shore, swimming lessons comsisted of our parents tying a rope around your middle and chunking you over board. Trust me….you learned fast. But, I learned to love it and thankfully still do :)

I grew up in Bermuda, so the ocean feels like home to me….so much so, that I can never live too far away for it. Or I feel like a piece of me is broken.

LET’S GO SWIMMING
I could swim before I can actually remember. My mom says I was going off the diving board at 18 months and swimming full laps under water by 3. I swam all the way through college and coached all levels from infants to adults. I really feel something deep and primal when I look at these works of art. Maybe I should win?!
