Kent Morales began his swimming
career as a youth with the Lucas Valley Waterlogs, under the
guidance of then Coach Chris Case. Kent swam in the Marin
Swim League, Terra Linda High School, and collegiately. As a
nineteen-year-old at U.C. Davis, Kent joined the Marinwood
Waterdevils as an assistant coach, and worked at that position for
two seasons. Shortly after graduating from Davis in 2000, he
joined Coach Barb Wheeler at the Marin YMCA Dolphins, and coached
there until starting his teaching career in 2013. In 2001,
Kent was the Head Coach for the Lucas Valley Lightning. The
following season, he joined the Waterdevils as Head Coach, and has
been with us since. Kent was awarded the MSL Coach of the Year in
2007, the last year the award was given. In addition to
coaching, Kent teaches Biology and Physiology at San Rafael High
School.
Kent lives in Terra Linda with
his wife, Amanda, and two kids, Giselle and Forrest. Giselle
is in her first season as a Waterdevil and loves it!
Kent is passionate about swimming, and is deeply committed to
bringing a rewarding experience to his swimmers. He wants the
swimmers to have fun, while realizing the enjoyment of achieving
goals through dedication and camaraderie. His greatest thrill
as a coach is watching young swimmers mature into fine young
adults.
