Alexandra Zupnik, previous Swimmer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When I was 9 or 10, Shannon English was my coach at Manchester Farm.

Those years with her were immensely transformative; I went from being an average

swimmer to reaching the top of my age group. Shannon taught me the value of hard work and, more importantly, listening.

One of my fondest memories of her is when I was primarily a Backstroker and Butterflier. She confidently told me that my best stroke would one day be Breaststroke, which I couldn’t believe

at the time since it was my weakest stroke, and more importantly, I wanted to be just like Michael Phelps!

However, she was spot on, as I eventually qualified for the D1 NCAA

Championships and the USA Olympic Trials in the 100 breaststroke many years later.


Shannon English is not just an exceptional coach—she is an incredible role model. I truly believe your child would be in the best hands with her, whether they're learning lifesaving techniques or aiming to build a career in competitive swimming. I wholeheartedly recommend her and look forward to seeing her club continue to thrive!
