The oldest of 15 children, Stephane Walsh Beilman grew up swimming in high school, before taking her talents to the AAU where she swam for the Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia and received coaching under Olympians Mary Freeman Kelly (1952) and George Breen (1956, 1960).
In 1975, Stephanie became the first head coach of the Harvard women’s swimming team, a position that she held until 1980, while she was earning her college degree from Boston University. From 1978 through 1984 (when she moved back to Philadelphia to work for the family business), Stephanie served as NEM’s vice president, event director for the annual NEM Fall Swim Clinic, coached NEM workouts at UMass Boston, and coordinated the NEM 1-Hour Swim.
