To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to recommend Christa Prior for the position of Swimming Coach at College
University State. I had the pleasure of working with Christa in multiple venues from 2011 to
2013. I was Christa’s teammate at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, her coworker at Swim
Hawaii swim lesson program, and direct supervisor with Team Jet and BC Endurance Training
coaching open water swimming.
Within each position Christa held she kept a professional attitude and charismatic demeanor.
Christa is able to connect well with other swimmers from all levels of ability. Her work ethic was
on display on a daily basis, consistently outworking her competition and inspiring her
teammates to strive for greatness. Her desire for knowledge and opportunity flows to every area
of her life. She is always working to be better than yesterday. She is knowledgeable in
technique and training methods for every level of swimmer from novice to collegiate.
Christa began working for me coaching and quickly progressed from part time, to full time, to co-
coordinator with both companies. A main facet of this job is being aware of up to 30 swimmers
in the ocean at once; she stayed focused and created an atmosphere of safety and learning.
Had Christa not pursued graduate school I would have assuredly chosen her as my successor
for coordinator at the end of my term. if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at the above address.
Sincerely,
Steve Allnutt
