TJ Moran – On Swimming, The Process, & Motivations

TJ Moran always had a passion for helping others. Growing up, he was always drawn to the water until he became a swim coach. However, it wasn’t a straight road through. A climbing accident brought him to reassess what he would do next.

Unable to walk for months, being stubborn paved the way to recovery aided by his Labrador retriever, Bailey. The months spent on rehab in the pool was a sign that he’d be back helping others love the water. 

In this episode, he tells us the importance of learning that everything is a process. Driven by the path he took working in retail, to a gym, and eventually becoming a swim coach for kids as well as adults. Later on he married his high school sweetheart & now they have a son, Tre. Born with Fragile X Syndrome, Tre has filled their life with so much love that it shows in the way he approaches coaching. 

TJ has swam mightily well in the waters of life and he tries to keep himself afloat by lifting up others through influencing the minds of future swimmers. Life laid down all these hurdles for him, yet he always reminds us of that “if it’s important to you, you’ll do it.”
