Lisa Wolf
Olney Swim Center (Tuesday)
Lisa swam competitively for local YMCA, summer and
AAU teams while growing up in Pennsylvania. She hung up her suit after
high school but got back into the water with the ANCMs in 2002 after
watching her oldest son swim with the neighborhood team. She competes
in local meets, open water events and trains for competition in triathlons.
Lisa is a certified USA Swimming Coach at ASCA Level II. She finds coaching
at Olney an interesting challenge, as there is a wide range of swimmers,
including very accomplished swimmers, triathletes, and swimmers "returning
to the fold" after a few years out of the water. She makes the workouts
fun and challenging at the same time.
