Claire Bodnaruk
I started Age Group swimming at the age of 11, continuing through High School as team captain. Summers were spent life guarding and teaching swim lessons. As a member of the Lady Vols Swimming Team at the University of Tennessee in 1981 and 1982, my summers were spent coaching age group swimming and teaching swim lessons. Graduating with a BS Degree in Communications, I spent the next 13 years working in the field of Broadcast Production and Advertising. I’m married and have two daughters. While living in Australia I taught swimming lessons through the Austswim Certification program. I currently have my Coaches Certification with USA Swimming and ASCS.
