Pat is from Portland, Ore., where early on she learned to swim in the lakes and the Pacific Ocean with family and friends.

A Village resident for 25 years, Pat swims often for exercise, relaxation, and long-lasting friendships at the pool. Her signature move is to end every swim with a handstand, which was what caught the eyes of the Aquadettes.

After her retirement from her physical therapy career, she joined the team and continues to grow and perfect techniques with skilled and inspiring coaches and choreographers. Pat’s advice to potential swimmers is: “participate at whatever level you are at and ENJOY.”

Pat has medaled three times in The Village Games: 2002, 2025 and 2026. She has performed in three Aqua Follies shows and was filmed in the introduction to the TV series B Positive.
