Joanna teaches swim lessons in Central Bucks County to adults, triathletes and teens seeking to improve their strokes and turns for competition and triathlon.
She helps triathletes in Bucks County become swimmers who are fully comfortable in the water, and ready for competition (or masters swim classes!). We work on breathing and stroke mechanics so you work smarter, not harder.
You’ll be amazed at how a bit of stroke technique in your swim lesson will make a bigger difference than just swimming more yards. You’ll also gain comfort like you did not know was possible while swimming in both the pool and in open water during a triathlon!
These swim lessons can be the difference of a decrease in seconds of time in placing, or minutes in a mile open water swim. Every swim stroke and turn can be improved so your efficiency translates into swimming faster!

Hi am interested in coaching and was wondering if you are still working at the Ambler YMCA
Sorry for the delayed response as you did find me! I teach at the Doylestown YMCA and am on staff there. the Y in Ambler I could meet you to swim, but probably not to teach.
It was a pleasure to work with you and I am looking forward to your progress! and who knows, maybe we will have to do some sports nutrition to get you ready for your Happy Valley triathlon, too!??
