MAC. I was so lucky to meet Jacqueline Thorpe at a meet. She introduced me to the MAC coaches Kris, Lyndsey, Jim, Diane and Janette as well as the wonderful swimmers on the team. So much has changed since I last competed and they have all been so kind and helpful and supportive, especially Jacqueline. I am so happy to be a member of the MAC team!
