Assistant Coach
Jenny Fadale

My name is Jenny Fadale, and I grew up in Buffalo, NY.  I started swim team at age 9, and continued to swim for the varsity teams in high school and college.  I attended St. Lawrence University, where I majored in economics and minored in education, and graduated in 1996.  My best event in swimming was the 50 freestyle, and I also swam the 100 free and 100 fly.  I co-coached the Camp Summit swim team, in the Catskill Mountains in New York, in the summer of 1995.

I moved to Aspen in 1997, and have been a ski instructor for Powder Pandas at Buttermilk ever since.  I have also worked for the ARC as a lifeguard and Swim instructor for the past year.  When not skiing and swimming, I also enjoy snowboarding, hiking, biking, kayaking, golf, rugby, rollerblading, and playing hockey for the Aspen Mother Puckers.

I recently moved to Aspen from Burlington, Vermont. I have been competitive swimming since elementary school when I joined an age group swim club in my hometown of Utica, NY. I continued to swim as a long distance swimmer in high school and at the collegiate level for Ithaca College. When I moved to Vermont in 2001, I began coaching for Green Mountain Aquatics age group swim club. I have been coaching with this team for the past ten years working with swimmers all ages from 8-18 year olds. I am a licensed middle school teacher in the state of Vermont and hope to pursue a teaching job here in Colorado. I also coached high school alpine skiing last year and a youth triathlon club. When I’m not working, I’m trying to play outside as much as possible. I compete in long distance road and trail runs, triathlons, open water swims, and I love to alpine and nordic ski in the winter. I’m looking forward to being part of the Aspen community and appreciating all this blue sky.
