Breathe and Splash with Swim Instructor Christine Garrido
On this episode, we\u2019re joined by my long-time friend, Christine Garrido! Christine is a certified swim instructor and has taught swimming for over 10 years. She recently founded @breatheandsplash swim school, which serves swimmers of all levels throughout Miami Dade and Broward County.\n\nChristine has been swimming since she was seven years old; she was a competitive swimmer throughout her childhood all the way to college, and even swam for the Peruvian National Team!\n\nShe\u2019s also provided sports mental performance coaching and consulting services to many high schools and private swim teams. When Christine\u2019s not coaching swimmers, she spends her time with her son, Joaquim, who is 16 months old and already loving the water. Christine also continues to swim herself and regularly competes in open water swims and triathlons. I\u2019ve raced with her before, and she\u2019s very fast!\n\nChristine shares with us her journey of how she got into swimming as a kid and how she fueled her passion for the sport to eventually start her own swim school. She explains why kids should learn how to swim, gives tips on how we can train our mind to get out of a \u201crut\u201d, and even gets into how she kept health and fitness as a top priority throughout her pregnancy.\n\nI had a great time chatting and catching up with Christine - you can feel how passionate she is about swimming and helping others be the best they can be, both mentally and physically.\n\nThis episode was originally recorded on June 9, 2020. The 3 three month delay is totally my fault - it\u2019s been a pretty busy past few months! Since this recording, Christine\u2019s swim school has grown so much that they now have a team of instructors. Way to go, Breathe and Splash Swim School!\n\nI hope you all enjoy this episode!
