Julia is thrilled to be part of the amazing coaching staff at the North York aquatic Club. As a competitive swimmer Julia began her career with the Etobicoke Swim Club. After being told that she might never swim again, Julia recovered from major back surgery and went on to win several provincial medals and regional High Point trophies. In her last years of high school, she moved to the cobra swim Club and discovered her love, and talent for sprinting. As a member of several record setting relays, Julia knew that she would never swim the 400 Free again. In 2004 Julia began her studies at the University of Toronto and became drop-dead sprinter with the Varsity Blues Swim Team. Before earning her Honours degree in Political Science, she won 11 provincial medals, helped set 5 Ontario relay records, was named a 5-Time Ontario University All-Star and earned a Provincial award of Distinction. Currently, she is studying and performing under the Comedy Writing and Performing program at Humber College. Although she loves any kind of race, drop dead sprinting is Julia’s passion and she will never back down from a chance to race and work hard!
