Head Coach

Coach Jack is now onto his tenth year coaching for the Fair
Oaks Dolphins. Jack started off as a junior coach for the dolphins
when he was fourteen and had worked hard to become a lead coach of
the Jr. Dolphins for a season and has been the lead coach for the
Killer Whale, Narwhal, and Water Buffalo practice groups, and now
he is the head coach of the program. Jack has also been a
competitive swimmer for the dolphins for thirteen years and has
received numerous athletic awards from the program and has over a
decade of competitive swimming experience being a member of Bella
Vista High Schools aquatics program for four years and for Sierra
College for two years. Jack has been on numerous sectional teams
and was a member of the 2016 CCCAA State Championship team and the
2017 CCCAA Runner Up State Championship team, where he has trained
and competed with and against Division One NCAA athletes and
Olympic Trials Qualifiers. Jack believes that as a coach, it is his
responsibility to create a lasting impact on each athlete that
enters the pool deck and work with them to become the best possible
athlete that they can become in and out of the water. Growing up
never being the record breaking swimmer or the fastest kid on the
team, Coach Jack understands the importance that each swimmer has
on this team and that you are never as strong as your weakest link.
At the end of the day, we are all a part of a team, and Coach Jack
really makes sure that each athlete has a role on this team and
that no one role is more important than another role. Jack has his
bachelors of arts in Communications with an emphasis in mass,
organizational, and small group communication at Sacramento State
University and is a certified ASCA swim coach and has numerous
coaching accolades with experience in summer, high school, and USA
swimming. Outside of swimming, Coach Jack is an Eagle Scout from
Troop 310 and also works for Topgolf Roseville as a manager. Jack
has been a part of the Fair Oaks Dolphins for seventeen years now
and is very excited to work with every athlete that walks on the
pool deck this year.

32 years coaching swimming, 6th
season with the Fair Oaks Dolphins
Why does a kid join a swim team?
Because her best friends are doing it! And so began my love of
swimming back in 1971 when I joined the El Dorado Hills Swim
Team. From that year on, I lived at the pool during the
summertime. Swim team, synchronized swimming, diving, and hanging
out with friends shaped my childhood. I loved all sports, so I only
swam one year in high school, and then went on to Cal Poly, San
Luis Obispo where I earned a degree in Biochemistry. Family
soon became my priority, but missing the “pool life”, I
answered a newspaper ad for swim instructors at Rollingwood Racquet
Club in 1987. Three-month-old baby Michelle accompanied me on my
interview, and we were hired!
I served as the Rockets Head Coach
in 1988, 89, and 90, and as my family continued to grow, I decided
to go back to work full-time in the environmental industry. I
remained with the club, teaching lessons, swimming with the Masters
group, and coaching the Rockets part time for the next decade. In
1999 I accepted the Swim Director position at Rollingwood, and then
took over as Head Coach again in 2001. The team was very successful
and had a 16 year run as Sacramento Swim League champs. My emphasis
has always been teaching fundamental swim techniques, while
providing a fun friendly environment for kids and their families.
I do not measure success by the number of “wins”,
but by the number of lives I can touch. What keeps me going? I love
kids, and there's nothing more gratifying than becoming a part of
their childhood memories.
I have 3 grown children, Michelle
(a.k.a. Coach Misha), Corina, and Jake. Swimming is a big part of
my life, but I also enjoy cycling, especially mountain biking. Life
is like mountain biking… lots of obstacles and it’s
usually easier to just roll over them, than to try and go
around!

Hey everybody! My name is Dominic, I'm 17 years old and am currently a senior at Del Campo High School. I've been swimming with the Dolphins since I was nine years old and love this team so much! This will be my fourth year assisting in coaching and I'm looking forward to a great season this year. My favorite part about being a coach is working with the kids and helping them improve their swimming and seeing the end results at Champs. I'm very excited for this season because I think we can really do an amazing job and have a lot of kids final at Champs! Go Dolphins!

Hey everyone! My name is
Cassidy and being a swim coach is everything to me! Swimming
has provided me with so many life lessons, happy memories, and
amazing opportunities over the years I cannot imagine my life
without it. My history in the swimming world began with five years
of synchronized swimming, and then I switched over to the
competitive side with FOD(Fair Oaks Dolphins) when I was thirteen
years old. Even though I did not start on the team until I was a
little older, I was instantly apart of the FOD family and my
competitive swimming career took off! As for my coaching
background, I started in the water helping out as a junior coach
when I was fifteen, and worked my way up over the years to lead
coach! This team has provided me with so much love and support and
I know you will feel this as well, and I cannot wait to meet you
and your swimmers!

Hey everyone, my name is Wyatt
I’ve been a swimmer for 10 years now, and I started with the
Fair Oaks Dolphins at just about nine. I’ve always had a love
for the water, but then I shortly after found out that i also had
the love for coaching. I began coaching when Coach Kim asked me as
a little 12 year old to help out with her group a couple days a
week, and the rest is history! I’m so excited to see all of
you this season!! Go Dolphins!
