Hi, I’m Pam — proud swim mom of two.
I created SwimMomHacks to make swim life simpler for moms with practical checklists, mom-tested gear picks, and stress-saving tips.
My story
When my kids joined swim, I was excited…and overwhelmed. Early warm-ups, wet towels, last-minute goggles, and long meet days made life chaotic fast.
After a few “forgot-the-cap” mornings and more than one soggy snack disaster, I started writing the lists and gear notes I wish someone had handed me. Those notes became SwimMomHacks—a place where busy moms can get exactly what they need, quickly.
My goal is simple: help you feel organized and confident so you can cheer more and stress less.
