Mandi Peterson

Hello my name is Mandi Peterson.I love coaching because it is rewarding to see people work hard, make changes and in the end learn to love the sport of swimming.My favorite thing about water is how it surrounds you and embraces you when you swim. Diving in is like entering a new world that you have all to yourself.I have been swimming for about 25 years, from an age group child to competing at UW-Madison. I still keep my skills by participating in Masters Swim. I have 10 years of coaching experience, ranging from age group to high school to masters to private lessons. What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. -Henry David Thoreau

Testimonials

September 2010: I was unable to swim more than 50 yards without being totally “gassed”, but after committing to doing the Wisconsin Ironman race in September, 2012 (with its 2.4 mile open water swim), I knew I needed to learn how to swim and learn it fast. I didn’t want to be that person who couldn’t finish the swim leg of the race, while spectators said; "Didn’t they know the swim portion was first?".

So I set up 6 swim lessons with Mandi Peterson at Pinnacle, who helped me immensely with my breathing and swim technique. She matched each lesson to me and my individual progress and had me focus on only a few items between each lesson. Mandi was very accommodating regarding lesson scheduling, which allowed me to sufficiently practice between each lesson, and balance the rest of my life and work schedules.
Fast forward to today………and “I am an Ironman”.

Thanks Mandi. When (and if) I decide to do my next, Ironman, let’s see how you can make me an even faster swimmer.

Swimming is not my primary sport, but it's an important part of my fitness program. I tried to get started on my own, but my form was so bad that it wasn't doing me much good - nor was it very much fun.Some private lessons with Mandi helped me to identify what I needed to do and has made my weekly swims fun and productive.

Mandi made me a more efficient swimmer, she broke my stroke down and pointed out things that were wasting energy and not allowing me to get enough oxygen...
