I have been using TRISWIM shampoo and conditioner/body wash and lotion for about 4 years now. I love it, so naturally I promote it to all of my swimming friends and all of my aquatic fitness students. It does a fantastic job of removing that chlorine smell off my skin!!
How did you get involved in your sport?
I joined Lifetime Fitness in 2007 with one goal... to lose weight. A lot of weight. After about 3 years of working hard I took off 90 pounds and then decided to teach swimming since I enjoyed it so much. So i was certified to teach swimming.... then I decided to teach group fitness water classes....(I knew nothing about teaching fitness classes at that point..) After about a year of teaching swim, I got certified to teach aquatic fitness classes. Over the years I have became known as the "Aqua Queen" around the club. Ha Ha!

What was your favorite vacation?
The fitness cruise i went on last April. I was asked if i would like to teach on board a Royal Caribbean ship and bring my students along... so I asked them and guess what? 24 of them purchased cabins and my husband and I cruised free! I taught classes and we had dinner together each night. We even chartered a boat and went snorkeling together in Saint Maarten. Best vacation ever.
