“

Before attending the April 2010 She Does Tri Camp in Baltimore I had only gotten into the pool 2-3 times to try and learn how to swim. During the pool segment I realized that I can learn to swim, even at 49! I left camp with the courage and confidence to get in the pool and build on what Coach Dave Amato, David and Krista taught me. I can't thank them enough! I just might make that goal of a sprint Tri before I turn 50!"
