 John HootenHead CoachEmail
This is John Hooten’s forth year as head coach of the
Barracudas. He came to swimming as a coach to help his children in
their last years of youth swimming. In his first two years of
coaching swimmers his age groups won 33 SSL league championships
and broke 20 SSL league records. Coach Hooten’s earlier
coaching background was as a rowing coach at Philadelphia’s
Vesper Boat Club where he produced 18 Olympians and 32 National
team members. His Vesper athletes won 15 Olympic and World
Championship medals including Anita DeFrantz, 1976 Olympic
medalist, current International Olympic Committee member and senior
U.S. representative to the IOC . His teams at Vesper won 25
National Championship titles. From 1975 to 1980 he was Olympic and
National Team Coach winning several international events. Coach
Hooten also spent one year as head coach of LaSalle High School
where they were Philadelphia City Champions, and one year as Head
Coach of Temple University where they were Dad Vail Champions.
After 1980 he retired from coaching to have more time for his
family while his wife was in medical school and residency. He had
always intended to go back to coach rowing when his children were
grown, but found coaching swimming at the grass roots to more
interesting and fun and it involved far less travel.
Coach Hooten has produced champions in several other sports
including basketball, soccer and unicycle riding. In 1995 he
started and has coached the Troopizi Unicycle
Club. Over the years he has taught hundreds of people (kids and
adults) to ride unicycles. Club riders have won 11 National
Championship titles and medals in each of the last 3 World Unicycle
Championships including Zack Baldwin, 2004 World Champion in Tokyo,
Japan .
For the last 10 years John Hooten has been the Scoutmaster of Boy
Scout Troop 121. During that time over 110 boys from his troop have
been advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout.
