John Brown
Head Coach, Senior Swimming
Email
John has been an integral
part of Oklahoma Swimming for more than 30 years. Coach John led
the Kerr-McGee Swim Club, which became Chesapeake Swim Club in
2007, for more than 30 years as head coach. In that time, he
produced Pan Am champions, U.S. Olympic Trial qualifiers and
semi-finalists, Senior National and Junior National champions, and
U.S. Olympic Festival champions. Additionally, John has coached
hundreds of swimmers with top-10 age-group rankings. Over the
years, his swimmers have qualified for U.S. Olympic Trials in
nearly every event and have qualified for Junior Nationals in all
events. His KMSC/CSC teams won the Oklahoma state age group
championships every year from 1992-2014 and has continued this
impressive run with the King Marlin Swim Club today.
Coach John’s vision
for providing professional opportunities for swimmers was achieved
in 1992, when he launched the Elite Pro-Am Meet. Now known as the
KMSC Pro-Am Classic, this one-of-a-kind national meet brings
amateur and professional swimmers together and provides cash prizes
to pro swimmers. The meet has drawn top teams from around the
country, including Mission Viejo, Sandpipers, King Aquatics, and
Shroeder YMCA.
In 2014, Coach John
pursued his vision for a coach-owned team to further ensure
stability and continuity to his athletes and families. He launched
King Marlin Swim Club with two partners, Kathy Mendez and Josh
Everett, so that he could continue to pursue his passion for the
sport of swimming and provide a high level of excellence to
aspiring swimmers in the Oklahoma City area.

2014 in beginning a King Marlin Swim Club, a coach-owned swim
team.
As co-owner of KMSC, Coach Josh spends most

Coach Debby graduated from Southern Nazarene University with a
Bachelor's in Elementary Education and a Master's in Early
Childhood Education. She has been a kindergarten teacher for more
than 20 years. Coach Debby started with Kerr-McGee Swim Club in
2004 as a dedicated swim parent. In 2006, she started
coaching for Kerr-McGee Swim Club, moved to Chesapeake Swim
Club, and now to King Marlin Swim Club where she works with our
developmental groups (Pre Prep, Prep, and Onyx).
Coach Debby says, "What I like best about coaching is watching my
swimmers improve from novice swimmers to being able to compete in
high school meets such as Age Groups and Sectionals."

Laura Healy
Assistant coach
Email
Coach Laura discovered
competitive swimming in middle school when she joined a nearby
neighborhood summer league team in Houston. She was hooked
immediately. When her family relocated to the OKC area in high
school, Coach Laura joined Kerr-McGee Swim Club and quickly
improved under Coach John's direction. As a Junior National
qualifier, Coach Laura earned a scholarship to swim for TCU in Fort
Worth.
After a long break from
competitive swimming to pursue her journalism career, which
included stints with The Dallas Morning News and Detroit Free
Press, and to start a family, Coach Laura rediscovered swimming in
much the same way as her teen years, when her oldest son joined a
summer league team in Canton, Mich. When her family relocated to
OKC once again, the family joined the King Marlin Swim
Club.
Coach Laura has served
KMSC in several roles: as a parent volunteer, booster club board
president, and now coach, which she admits is her favorite role to
date. You'll see her name pop up on team emails often, as she also
sends weekly updates to our families with the latest KMSC news and
reminders.
