My name is Heather Bureau and I currently work at Wheat Ridge High School as an Instructional Coach. I also am an assistant coach with the girls swim team at WRHS. I am originally from a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I swam year round on a few club teams. I come from an extensive swimming background, beginning in club and competing at California University of Pennsylvania through my junior year. I swam distance freestyle and the 400 IM before I got into coaching. My coaching experiences include helping out on a middle school swim team in Pennsylvania, coach/ camp counselor at The Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida, restarting the girls swim team at Mitchell High School and head coach at Valley Swim Team, both in Colorado Springs. I also teach private lessons from 2 years old- 72 years old. It’s never too late to start! Outside of the world of swimming, I enjoy being outside in the summer paddleboarding, reading in the sun, or sitting on a patio.
I am excited to start a new journey at The Wave! I look forward to a summer full of fun, sun and some fast swimming!
