More About Coach Mallory

Over nine years experience teaching private lessons.

Over three years experience coaching Master's level swimmers.

Currently working as the assistant coach for a high school swim team, head coach of a kids pre-competitive swim team, and the open water/triathlon specialist for the largest Master's team in the country.

Served as the lead clinician for a National Open Water Clinic for Master's level swimmers, two years in a row.

Two years experience leading ocean clinics for beginning and intermediate open water swimmers.

Former Div I collegiate swimmer with a background in freestyle and individual medly (all four competitive strokes). Currently competing professionally on the FINA Grand Prix Circuit, professional marathon swims over 10k.

Was also the 39th person in the world to complete the "Triple Crown of Marathon Swimming" consisting of the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim (28.5 miles), the Catalina Channel (21 miles) and the English Channel (21 miles). I have recently been featured in USMS SWIMMER magazine and the Wall Street Journal.

Since each client I work with has different abilities and different goals, all sessions are completely tailored to the needs of the client.

The first step is to develop an efficient freestyle stroke and a nominal amount of endurance through drill and technique work.

Once this has been achieved we can introduce specific skills (such as open-water swimming skills or other stroke) while we continue to develop endurance and mix in some speed work.

As you, the client, progress, the sessions will involve less and less technique work and more conditioning. Sessions can also be moved to the ocean.

Client Reviews

Thanks for today's workout. I've been swimming w/ masters since March & you're first coach that has provided any meaningful stroke & position corrections & personal coaching. I greatly appreciate it!
I am a 64 year old active female who has rheumatoid arthritis since I was 30 years old.I can’t say enough about the way Mallory teaches, encourages, coaches, and challenges all with a positive attitude. She has a detailed knowledge about each stroke which has helped me to improve and accomplish more that I ever thought I could. By using drills, intervals, various distance workouts at different speeds, she keeps my interest in wanting to learn more. There is no boredom to the variety she brings to each swim session. She has the ability to meet each swimmer where we are in our ability levels. Mallory is truly someone I would highly recommend to coach adults or children
When my son Nickolas (4 at time when we took the lessons) started private swim lessons with Mallory, he was afraid to go underwater. In two lessons, Mallory had him diving and picking up toys from the bottom of the pool. This was his treat for doing a good job and following Mallory’s instructions. Mallory taught him not just how to tread water, but also how to swim legal strokes in free style, backstroke and breaststroke. My son is now 6 and swimming on a swim club. I recommended Mallory to all of my friends and family and would still do private lessons with her when she visits Indiana to improve my son strokes!
It is kind of hard to believe that 7 months ago, I didn’t enjoy swimming, and a trip to the pool was never much fun. I really appreciate all of your coaching, and how much you have helped me improve. I will look forward to following your swimming career.I will always consider your greatest swimming-related accomplishment to be transforming me from someone who was a drowning hazard into someone who loves to swim.
Mallory’s unique marathon swim expertise makes her ideal for training triathletes. She understands the time constraints on athletes, and the need to make each workout specific to target key goals. Mallory emphasizes quality over quantity – this has been critical for me to feel fresh and rested before triathlons, instead of tired, sore, and over trained. After training with Mallory, I swim more efficiently so I get out of the water ready to bike and run. All triathletes would benefit from training with Mallory – I swim with many coaches – she is the coach I would recommend to friends that are trying to improve their swim technique
