Job Description | |
The Annandale Red Tide Swimming Team is looking for a head coach for the 2025 Summer Season! Annandale competed in Division 15 last year. We had around 75 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 27, and run from 3:45 to 6:45 Monday through Friday. Once FCPS concludes their school year on June 11, 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 Wednesday, July 2. 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.
