Date posted: May 22, 2026
Location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Chattahoochee Gold Swimming is seeking a passionate, energetic, and motivated full-time Assistant Coach to join our growing coaching staff.
With more than 750 athletes training across four locations in the North Atlanta area (Marietta, Woodstock, Cumming, and Peachtree City), Chattahoochee Gold has built a long-standing tradition of excellence while continuing to evolve and grow.
Our athletes have achieved success at every stage of the sport, from first-time state qualifiers to national-level competition, and we take pride in creating an environment where swimmers can continue progressing throughout their careers.
We are looking for a coach who wants to be part of a collaborative staff committed to developing athletes and helping shape the future of a growing program.
Why Chattahoochee Gold?
This is an opportunity to be part of a large, multi-site program with resources and support systems that are not always available in many club environments.
At Gold, we are deeply invested in coach development and giving our staff meaningful tools to better serve athletes. Our program has partnered with experts in confidence coaching, breathwork and performance development, and other outside specialists to help our athletes and coaches continue growing both in and out of the pool.
Our coaching staff brings experience from programs across the country, creating an environment where collaboration, mentorship, and continued learning are part of the daily culture.
We believe great coaching environments are energetic, organized, athlete-centered, and growth-oriented. Coaches at Gold are encouraged to share ideas, continue learning, and build strong relationships with athletes, families, and fellow staff members.
We are not simply maintaining a 30-year tradition of success — we are actively building the next chapter of it.
