Job Title | Head Swim Coach - 2023 Season |
Job Description | |
The Annandale Red Tide Swimming Team is looking for a head coach for the 2023 Summer Season. Annandale competed in Division 15 last year. We had around 90 swimmers last year with swimmers making it to All Stars. We are looking for someone who will be energetic, positive and willing to focus on all levels of swimmers. The head coach will be assisted by two assistant coaches and several junior coaches or Coaches-In-Training. Our evening practices begin the day after Memorial Day, Tuesday May 30, and run from 3:45 to 6:45 Monday through Friday. Once FCPS concluded their school year on June 16, practices will be in the mornings Monday through Friday from 7:45 to 11 am. Meets are held on Monday evenings and Saturday mornings. We also participate in Divisional Relay Carnival which will be held June 28. Annandale is also fortunate to offer a developmental Little Tides program that starts in the evenings after Memorial Day and then also moves to the mornings once FCPS has released.
