About

TJ Wiley is a published poet, writer, and open-water swim fanatic. She has cool friends, an English lab named after RuPaul, and an addiction to inappropriate British greeting cards.

Swimming in Puget Sound is her passion. She is the race director for the Whidbey Adventure Swim, lifeguard, open-water instructor, prior swim-team coach, and member of the South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation.

TJ has survived breast cancer, bad swim decisions, and is in the process of turning her scars into art. She has many questions about joy, the two-sides of grit, and Manuka honey.
