Moms at Meets: Colette Anderson
Sponsored by TriSwim whose products remove chlorine, chlorine odor & salt water, and green tint. Their salon quality products hydrate & moisturize the skin, heal itchy skin & hair, relieve dandruff, eliminate pool rash & relieve symptoms of eczema.
If they gave out Olympic gold medals to extraordinary swim moms, Colette Anderson would have at least three by now. Mother of 2012 Olympic silver medalist (10K) Haley Anderson, 2012 Olympic gold medalist (4×200 free relay) Alyssa Anderson and NCAA Division I qualifier Jordan Anderson, Colette has this swim-mom thing down pat. Colette swam collegiately at the University of Hawaii, and her aquatic genes have shown up mightily in her offspring.
