More About Coach Ashley
As an accomplished TriSwim coach, I have a vast knowledge and expertise is in the sport of swimming. Along with my incredible passion for making you a stronger swimmer, I will also focus fully on bringing you to your fullest potential in the water.
My coaching style reflects the needs of my clients. My business involves sharing the knowledge I have acquired over the course of my life as a competitive swimmer. My passion for competition and the water have driven me to swim throughout my life. Even in competitions against Olympic swimmers Jenny Thompson and Amy Van Dyken, my extensive racing experiences have helped me coach swimmers to their greatest potential. My experiences have given me patience and the ability to develop workouts so that they are understandable and manageable for various levels of swimmers.
While sharing my knowledge with others, I have developed many great relationships with triathletes in the Capital District. I started the YMCA “Learn to Tri” program here in Albany. It started small and with the right pool of interested participants, it grew, and I helped an entire community of athletes. After getting involved with the swimming community, I began to assist the Bethlehem Triathlon Club as the Water Safety Director. This important position involves keeping triathletes safe during their open water practice swim. In addition, I love to give lessons in the open water during the summer months.
Since the start of Serrago’s Swimmers, my mission statement has simply been this: “To give clients of all swimming abilities a sense of security in the water, while strengthening their skills.”
I competitively swam for 15 years and during those years, accomplished the following:
Taught American Red Cross Levels I-7
Jones Beach New York State Lifeguard
Capital District Triathlon Club Lifeguard
Division I Siena College Record Holder; Top Place Finisher
Directed/taught YMCA Learn to Swim Program
Participated in Albany YMCA Triathlon Startup Program
Swim Coach, Albany Starfish
Swim Coach, College of Saint Rose (Division II)
Directed Bethlehem Triathlon Club Water Safety; Served as the Swim Lesson Liaison
Initiated the Albany YMCA Triathlon “Learn to Tri” Program
Started my own business: Serrago’s Swimmers Teaching Triathletes, Children, and People with Disabilities to Swim
My training focuses on drills and instruction to improve stroke, technique and overall fitness. My approach will help you become a more efficient swimmer in the pool and open water. Your swim times will improve while conserving valuable energy for the bike/run portion of your event. I work with a wide range of athletes from the true novice to Ironman level. I also have the ability to draw the best out of each athlete by identifying and eliminating weak aspects while building on strengths. This has been proven time and time again by the accomplishments of athletes I’ve worked with, ranging from those simply completing a race to elite Ironman competitors.
