主な過去の栄光や記録（年月・大会名・順位）または目標・希望

2008年・2009年に日本テレビで放映された24時間テレビ『津軽海峡縦断リレー』ではスイムアドバイザーを務め、盲目の少女スイマーのナビゲーター（伴泳）としても活躍。チームを津軽海峡縦断完泳へと導きました。 『おんじゅくオーシャンスイムレース、松崎オーシャンスイムレースなどでレースディレクターもつとめています。』

校長先生の一言 　『レッスン中の出来事など、感じたことを思いつきで書いています。写真コーナーもあるので一度遊びにいらして下さい。』 http://twitter.com/ocean_navi 　その日の練習内容の予告！ポイント！スケジュール！イベントなど手軽に確認ができますよ！ぜひフォローをお願いします。 春に花咲く長距離クロール (月刊スイムの運営する swim.net にて動画で説明しています。) 　長距離をいかにラクに泳ぐか？の極意を説明しています。2ビートクロールをマスターしたい人必見！

参加者へのアドバイス

とにかく海に行ったらまず自分自身が楽しんじゃいます。自分が楽しくなければみんなを楽しませることはできないと思ってますから・・・。海で遊ぶ（泳ぐ）ことなら何でもお任せ！遠い昔ですが学生時代には競泳1500m・400m・200mの選手として全国大会に出場したりライフガードなども経験しました。水泳の指導をするようになって気が付いたらもうすぐ25年。水泳の指導は全般的にできますよ！でも特に長距離クロールとオーシャンスイムの指導には独自のこだわりを持ってます。楽しいレッスンを心掛けているのでぜひ私のレッスンに一度参加してみてください！
