Juliette Applewhite

Juliette grew up on the peninsula and started teaching swimming as a teenager. She swam for many years as a San Mateo Marlin and with the Golden Gate Aquatic Club before joining Menlo Masters. She has generously served the team with her volunteerism and has been awarded Swimmer of The Year.

After 20 years away from competition, Juliette began swimming in meets with Menlo, and her achievements include top ten age group finishes — she is a butterfly powerhouse! In addition to being our Swim Pro, Juliette is also one of our Menlo Masters coaches. Juliette is raising 4 daughters, now all teenagers, with her very patient husband.

Swim Pro: Juliette Applewhite
 Menlo Swim and Sport offers the expertise of our Swim Pro, Juliette Applewhite for individual youth lessons. Juliette brings coaching talent and passion for swimming and kids to her instruction so swimmers can benefit from one-on-one lessons no matter what the skill level.

Whether your child is fearful of the water or on the verge of dominating at swim meets, Juliette can quickly help them make huge improvements with individually designed programs. Juliette also works with special needs families and builds adaptive lessons to each child's specific goals and requirements.

During the lessons, Juliette spends time with your child in the water and often uses an video camera to capture movements. The camera footage shows exactly where improvement is needed, providing a visual imprint of body mechanics. Visual images are a great help when you're training your body to make the subtle adjustments that improve streamline, stroke efficiency, and power.
