More About Coach Deidre
My experience includes age group swim lessons (ages 4 - 10) as well as creating workouts for a HS swim team and collegiate and triathlon training. I helped train several collegiate athletes and triathletes and worked as a swim instructor for the Washingtonville Seahawks as well as for Fordham University.
I swam for Fordham University, a Division I team, for 4 years (2000 - 2004) and served as team captain for 2 years. I have also competed in multiple triathlons and biathlons.
The initial session will include an assessment of current skills and your goals. My focus will depend on the assessment and goals and will include stroke efficiency and speed drills. I typically run a session starting with a warm up (free swim, kicking and pulling), drills and stroke work, strength and endurance followed by a cool down.

Client Reviews
Tracy (CoachUp client)
First lesson and look forward to more. She is patient and explains things well. Very adaptable to what needs to be taught.
Natasha (CoachUp client)
Coach Deidre is great! She pays attention to details but at the same time looks at the bigger picture of your techniques.
After training with her only for 1 month I have made a huge progress in my techniques and efficiency of my stroke . I will definitely be scheduling more sessions with her! And I will recommend her to anyone who is looking to either learn how to swim or improve their techniques and endurance.
Kristine (CoachUp client)
Coach Deidre is great! I'm training for my first triathlon and have been really worried about the swim portion. After just a couple of sessions she has made me feel much more comfortable in the water. She takes the time to really explain everything: how your body should be moving in the water, head positioning, breathing, you name it! She is super patient, encouraging, and always willing to answer my questions even in between sessions. I look forward to more sessions with her and highly recommend her for all skill levels!
Dharmik (CoachUp client)
Coach Diedra is a fantastic coach, I've had a swimming instructor before and trying to understand and pick up swimming techniques was very difficult. But after working with Diedra, she makes the art and technique of swimming very easy to understand and comprehend, and really makes swimming enjoyable. I definitely will keep working with her to improve and meet my swimming goals!
Alicia (CoachUp client)
Coach Deidre is just what I was looking for in a coach, a very calm persona. She made me feel comfortable learning some of the swimming techniques even though I was a little nervous. I am really looking forward to learning to swim with Deidre as my coach.
Jessica (CoachUp client)
Personally, I have found Deidre to be an excellent swim coach. I appreciate that she is punctual and flexible in scheduling sessions. She listens to my concerns and takes my goals into consideration during each session. She is friendly, personable and has really helped me improve both my technique and confidence in the water. I look forward to working with her again and definitely recommend her as a swim coach.
