Northwest Branch Swim Team

I have been swimming since I was a baby, beginning with swim lessons at the MLK Swim Center, which taught me the stroke fundamentals. During my 12 seasons swimming with the Dolphins, I took advantage of private lessons to get one-on-one coaching and improve my stroke technique. Now I hope to offer the same benefits to the new generation of Dolphins.

Over the years, I have swam at a variety of different competitive levels, including stroke and turn clinics, RMSC, Northwood High School and currently, Masters Swim with DC Aquatics Club. I specializes in freestyle, backstroke, starts and turns, but am excited to work with swimmers on all things swimming!

I looks forward to helping swimmers gain confidence in the water and improve their stroke technique. I welcomes swimmers of all ages, including parents!

My name is Teddy McDonough. This summer is the last of my 14 years as a Dolphin, and my second as an assistant coach. I have swam at RMSC for 7 years now, and competed for the Montgomery Blair Blazers throughout my high school career. I love working with swimmers to break down their strokes and find ways to get an edge up on the competition, while also joking around and having fun! Much of the advice I give to my dolphins comes from advice I have been given from countless NWB, RMSC and high school coaches and teammates throughout the years.
