Unlimited, having taught swim lessons, youth and adult stroke clinics,
swim team and masters swimming activities during her time here. Coach

popular program that burst onto the competitive scene with an
impressive 2006-2007 season. Prior to coming to Health Unlimited,
Amethyst was a youth swim league coach at the Cincinnati Sports Club
for four years while also teaching swim clinics and a masters program.
“Coach A.” is currently one of Health Unlimited's most successful and
sought after swim lesson instructors for all age brackets while also
coaching our highly popular masters swim program for adults 18 and
over. Her enthusiasm for the sport of swimming is contagious and is
routinely passed along to the children and adults she coaches. Her
ability to get the most of each individual swimmer and her
relationships with her swimmers set her apart and establish her as a
top level coach. With the help of her experience and
well-qualified assistant coaches, Amethyst looks to build on the
successes of past seasons and establish the Health Unlimited Hurricanes
as recognized and respected program throughout the state.
Assistant swim coach, Diane Paterline, excels in teaching swimming with over 25 years experience teaching children and adults.

Over the next few years Coach Monique worked for a large winter swim club in Montgomery County instructing stroke clinic, swim lessons and competitive team. She took this time to get her certifications to become a Swim America lesson instructor and then later, Site Supervisor. During that time she became an American Swimming Coaches Assoc.
