Coaches

Brandon has always had a great passion for the sport of swimming, starting at an early age in the summer pool system. Having only started competitive swimming at the age of 14, he quickly became a force having won multiple provincial championships and acquired his Senior National standard by the age of 16.  He was also part of the National Record relay for 15-16 year old. In 2015, Brandon became the National Champion in the 50 Fly. 

Brandon is an established leader having coached for the Bluefins. He is a motivator and has a way of getting the best out of his swimmers. Brandon has also been the co-owner of a private swimming lessons business since 2015. He will provide his swimmers with challenging work that is both enjoyable and rewarding. 

Heather has swum and coached at all levels of the sport. She started swimming at a very small club in Montreal West, moving to Pointe-Claire Swim Club and eventually finishing her swimming career at CAMO.  She swam for John Abbott in Cegep and swam Masters at Université de Montreal, DDO, and CAMO, before moving to Bermuda in 1994 where she coached all levels of the sport.  

Upon her return to Montreal in 2010 she swam and coached Masters at Pointe-Claire.  She has been coaching the 8& Under Age Group at Dorval Swim Club since 2015.    

Between swimming and coaching she has 40 years of experience.  Heather likes to inject fun into every session; "it is one of the things I love about being a coach, my swimmers come in sometimes tired and unmotivated and they always leave feeling better, hopefully having improved and learned something new.  I feel it is crucial to connect with the swimmers I coach as that is the key to getting them to reach their full potential."
