Tracy Palmer
Tracy Palmer has been involved in the sport of swimming for over 20 years! She swam competitively for Swim Atlanta growing up, which gave her the background to become a high achieving, full scholarship athlete at the University of Kentucky. At Kentucky, she was an SEC top-16 finisher and National Qualifier in the freestyle event.
After college, she took some time to start a family with her husband Brett. She has two children, Sully 5, and Ansley 2. After being away from competition, she got the bug to get back into sport, so she tried a triathlon and the rest is history. In her first full season, she has placed in the top 10 overall in every triathlon she has competed, with Age Group wins in all but one-- where she was the overall champion! When racing, Tracy is consistently the fastest female swimmer, even beating the pros out of the water.
Tracy has been coaching swimming to all ages for the past 15 years. She is analytical, precise, encouraging, and motivating, and swimmers of all levels find her guidance beneficial. She has coached several Masters groups as well as year-round juniors. Many of her juniors became successful with her guidance achieving top 16 times in the country and several Southeastern records. In addition to coaching swimmers to success through the Sport Factory, she is the head coach of a summer league swim team and has
been for the past 13 summers. Tracy's expertise in the sport has helped many swimmers and triathletes improve efficiency in the water and gain valuable skills to apply during training and on race day.
Whether you are brand new to swimming or a seasoned athlete who would just like some guidance on improving your stroke, Tracy will help you achieve your goals in the water.
