Coach Tracey is the founder of SwimMastery and is, through SwimMastery International,  passing on her extensive research and experience to swimmers worldwide. She is based in Brisbane, Australia and previously lived in the UK and Germany.

Tracey was born and raised in Zimbabwe, where swimming was a part of her life from the start. She began competitive swimming at 5 years old and by 19 was also doing triathlons. She has been teaching and coaching swimming for 30 years while extensively studying and exploring every aspect of movement through water, from joints and body position to the psychology and physiology of being horizontal in a liquid environment.

Tracey began with the standard UK national teaching programme, teaching children and adults, individually and in groups. She came across Total Immersion Swimming in 2002. She began integrating those ideas, which produced a tremendous transformation in her own swimming and in her ability to find solutions for her students. She became a certified Total Immersion coach and opened her own Endless Pool swim studio near London, which eventually led her to assist and lead group workshops and training TI Coaches around the UK. In 2012, she became more deeply involved in coach training around the world and in leadership within the organisation, working more closely with Terry Laughlin, the founder of Total Immersion, culminating in becoming the director of coaching in 2015. Through this experience, Tracey found her genuine passion for coach training and the value of the coach community, mutual learning, and collaboration.
