Head Coach – Amethyst Tymoch

Head coach Amethyst Tymoch has become a familiar face at Health Unlimited, having taught swim lessons, youth and adult stroke clinics and swim team activities during her time here. In 3 short years, Coach Amethyst has built this swim team program from a fledgling start-up to a successful and popular program that expands into the competitive arena with the 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 (adult competitive swimming). She was a competitive team swimmer in United States Swimming (USS) competition, reaching Junior Olympic and Zone Qualifier status. While in high school, she was a varsity competitive swimmer and diver.

Amethyst is currently one of Health Unlimited's most successful and most sought after swim lesson instructors for all age brackets and she coaches our wildly successful adult swim clinics. 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 from other team coaches.
