Assistant Swim Coach

Join the MJCC Stingrays coaching staff We are a year-round, largely developmental USA Swimming team with swimmers age 8-18+. We are a facility-owned team with 70-75 swimmers during the school year and 20-30 in the summer, as well as smaller pre-competitive group that practices October-May. Our philosophy is that youth sports are about building relationships and creating community just as much as they are about going fast or winning, and our team almost always has a waitlist. We believe that all children deserve a place in sports regardless of their personal identity, background, or perceived talent, and we are looking for an assistant coach who supports that philosophy.
