I highly recommend Erika as a Coach for marathon swimming. Whether it’s building endurance, improving cold acclimation, or sharpening mental toughness, Erika excels at preparing swimmers for the physical and psychological demands of long-distance swims. As a beginner, I faced many challenges with nutrition and training. With Erika’s guidance and tailored training plans, I was able to build the endurance and cold tolerance necessary to complete three marathon swims ranging from 10 to 21 miles.
Erika’s expertise goes beyond just training—she’s also an outstanding crew member. She served as my crew chief for my Catalina Channel crossing, and her organizational skills were critical in ensuring everything went smoothly. From designing my feed plans to coordinating equipment and medications, Erika made sure all the details were covered. During the swim, her experience proved invaluable. When I struggled to tolerate my calorie-dense feeds, she worked seamlessly with my crew and pilots to adapt and find energy sources that worked.
Anyone can handle a straightforward swim, but when it comes to tackling tough, long-distance challenges, Erika is the one you want on your team. Hire her—she’s the best!
