KIM MUSCH Head Coach - Men’s & Women’s Swimming

Coach Musch begins his eleventh year at UCSC. During the first ten seasons, the Slug Swim Team has produced 89 All- American selections, Two National Champions, Two NCAA National "Swimmers of the Week", Four PCSC Conference "Swimmers of the Meet", A Maccabien Games Gold Medalist, and Four UCSC "Athletes of the Year". In addition Coach much has been honored twice as the UCSC coach of the year, the 2007 PCSC Conference Coach of the year, recipient of eleven American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) Certificates of Excellence, Musch spent his collegiate career at the University of California, Berkeley from 1973-1977. In his senior year, he was selected Team Captain. During his years as a swimmer at Cal, he watched Nort Thorton

take a low scoring team at the Division I NCAA meet to the top five at his senior year meet (Cal then went on to win the NCAA’s in 1979 and 1980 ). After coaching stints with Santa Cruz Aquatics and Chabot College in Hayward, Musch returned to

Cal in 1981 as an assistant to Nort. That same year he formed the Golden Bear Swim Club. Well over a dozen Golden Bear swimmers went on to compete in the Olympic Games for various countries during his time as Head Coach. Several World records,

US Open records, National records and Age-Group National Champions came out of the Golden Bear Swim Team during his tenure. Being able to convince coaching greats Nort Thornton, Karen Thornton, and Peter Tragitt, to join the coaching staff, the

Golden Bear Swim Club was a regular top five finisher at both the indoor and outdoor US National Championships. After leaving Cal, Musch worked several years at the Blackhawk Country Club in Danville. Although the Blackhawk Swim Team was a small team of only 30-40 year-round swimmers, they went on to have Individual Junior National Event Champions, Senior National finalists, an Olympic Trial Qualifier, High School All-Americans, and numerous National top 16 age groups award winners.
