Welcome to Coach Jake Swim!
As Senior Coach for The Bolles School and Bolles School Sharks, I've had the privilege of coaching Olympic qualifiers, NCAA champions, Olympic Trials finalists, Junior National champions, and numerous high school All-Americans. Under my guidance, our teams have won U.S. Junior National team championships and high school national championships.
I'm passionate about a holistic approach to student-athlete development. My coaching philosophy emphasizes high-performance habits that not only cultivate athletic excellence but also foster strong leadership qualities.
Swimming isn't just my profession; it's my lifelong passion. I honed my skills as a youth swimmer in Connecticut before moving to Florida to join the championship culture at The Bolles School. Bolles provided an elite environment that propelled me to Texas A&M University, where I competed at the highest levels of the sport.
At Texas A&M, I qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials, set a school record, earned Scholar All-American recognition, and led the team as captain during my senior year. This firsthand experience as a high-level swimmer allows me to connect with my student-athletes on a deeper level. I understand their challenges and aspirations from a personal perspective, having walked a similar path.
