Ohio State University Alumni Swim Relay competition.
I swam in High School and chose Cross Country in collegiate.
My experiences of College level swimming comes from being Boston University varsity Swim Team volunteer coach.
I am also competitive swimmer myself. Competing under USMS qualified for Nationals in 3 events.
My favorite event is 200 IM
Functional DRYLAND warm up -ACTIVE AND PASSIVE STRETCHING, MYO FASCIAL RELEASE, FOAM ROLLER
I LIKE PUTTING IN TRAINING KICK BODY BALANCE, CORE ENGAGEMENT BREATHING.
Warm up swim set with a variety of swim, kick, pull in Individual Medley order. Following, a prep set of approximately 400 yds of Set drills and swims to complement stroke. Build slow to fast swim to increase heart rate for aerobic/ anaerobic/ threshold work.
Depending on clients needs, would work technically to build off foundation of stroke. Adding drills to form, making sure there’s balance while still adding breath to the stroke.

Matt (CoachUp client)
Halina was wonderful to work with. She was friendly and knowledgeable and helped me understand where I could improve.
Carla (CoachUp client)
Coach Halina was great evaluating my son! She was really thorough with notes and videos to give him feedback. But the best was to see the great communication with him directly making sure he understands and able to work on the instructions quickly. Hope our schedules work for extra sessions in the future. Definitely would recommend for any one looking for improvement.
Peter (CoachUp client)
Coach Halina was great to work with and went right to work providing a very specific assessment of my daughter Mia's areas for potential improvement. I was thrilled to have such detailed feedback of specific stroke focus within the first few laps of Mia swimming in the pool. Coach Halina's dedication is evident right away and her drive to treat swimming as a wholistic sport is apparent from the first conversation. I look forward to future sessions once our scheduling allows.
Abby (CoachUp client)
Coach Halina was GREAT!! At our initial evaluation, she analyzed my form, breathing, etc and even took videos to play back and show me how to improve. She reviewed drills that will help target that improvement. I can’t express enough how helpful it was. She also has exceptional communication. I am very happy to work with Halina and definitely recommend to others!
Esther (CoachUp client)
Coach Halina was exactly what my son needed to work on his technique and feel more confident in the pool. She made a great connection with him off the bat and provided great feedback on what he needs to work on and where he excels. We are grateful to have found her.
Aaron (CoachUp client)
She was great. Very communicative and punctual, came prepared, substantial expertise in the sport. Highly recommended!
Elena V. (Testimonial)
Halina, Victoria’s group usually do relays on Saturdays, and I just wanted to tell you that with your help she was amazing at entering water today, she went the furthest (despite being the youngest in the group) which gave her a huge advantage at the start. Thank you!
Corey C. (Testimonial)
Halina took me in as a complete beginner with zero knowledge of competitive swimming. She was able to quickly assess my abilities and develop a swim training strategy specific to my goal and timeline for my very first triathlon. She very patiently worked with me on the foundational lessons for freestyle and greatly improved my capability in such a short amount of time. Every week she provided a self video recap and instructions for what to focus on as homework. A couple weeks before the race she taught me the breast stroke as an in-race recovery strategy and it completely saved me during the triathlon. Had I not chosen Halina to coach me in my training I would not have made it past the swim portion of the race. The attention to detail and personalized coaching plan was second to none, I highly recommend Halina as a coach.
T. Regan - Swim Coach (Testimonial)
