Megan (Bilko) Hoyson is a swimming technique coach based in Pittsburgh, PA. She coaches a wide range of athletes in all stages of their competitive careers, from the most beginner to elite levels.
The reward of working with athletes of all ages to discover their potential is what led Megan to starting Race Ready Swim School in January 2020. She utilizes a technical approach to guide athlete’s towards mastering their mechanics for optimal race performance in both competitive swimming and open-water triathlon. For many athletes, it’s more than time 1:1 with a coach; Megan provides a goals tracking and notes taking system for each athlete, motivational material for learning, and video instruction and underwater video analysis for visual learners. Each interaction with an athlete is intended to strengthen the athlete’s personal commitment to being disciplined and self-motivated to reach their goals, recognizing there is necessary work that continues after each session. For the right ages and type of instruction needed for an individual’s development, Megan will coach in-water acting as either a guide to lead swimmers movements or as a demonstrator for efficient teaching.
