Nitro Swimming Seeks Two High-Quality Swimming Coaches

Date posted: February 16, 2026

Location: Austin, TX, USA

with Nitro Swimming

This doesn’t happen often, but Nitro Swimming is looking to add (2) high-quality Swimming Coaches to our USA Coaching staffs…One at our Bee Cave, Texas location, and one at our Cedar Park, Texas location. We are looking to fill the position sooner rather than later, but will not settle until we find the RIGHT person for each slot.

• Nitro Swimming Bee Cave is located on the West/Southwest side of Austin, Texas
• Nitro Swimming Cedar Park is located on the north side of Austin, Texas

Both are 30,000 sq ft indoor facilities, each housing a beautiful indoor 50 meter pool, and a swim school pool as well.

Our third indoor 50 meter location just celebrated its 1st birthday and is in Kyle, Texas, just south of Austin.

We are looking for those two shining stars who LOVE being on deck, possess the X factor, with that rare ability to get athletes to run through walls for them (willingly!), and will stop at nothing to get us to the top.

Our Mission Statement is not just a copy and paste. Ours is simple. 3 sentences, 9 words:

• Visible Improvement. Delivered with Passion and Joy. Every Day.

Our next 2 Age Group Coaches will be Coaches who ENJOY working in a fast paced positive and competitive swim environment, are EAGER to join the hardest working coaching staffs in the country. We have 30 USA Swimming Coaches, and we all help make each other better.

The 2 that are leaving our program have been with us for several years each. One is going full time into ministry, and the other is going full time into child services/counseling.

As I stated at the beginning, this is a rare opportunity.

This will be a well-compensated position. We’re prepared to make these both salaried positions, with Blue Cross/Blue Shield health coverage, including vision, dental, paid time off, 401K, and one of the most desired perks is what we call a “Rolling Day Off” awarded to our Coaches anytime they are on a pool deck covering a meet on a Sunday. We award them a day off the deck the next week to help with their Swim/Life balance. Our Coaches LOVE those.

IF you prefer the flexibility of a part time hourly role, we are happy to discuss that as well. Starting hourly rate would be $25/hr. Approximately 25-28 hours/week. But to reiterate, we’re prepared to make both of these positions full time salaried to the right candidates! Salaries will be commensurate with experience, attitude, aptitude, and energy!

You must possess that never ending desire to make every athlete in front of you better in the short time you have them each day. The energy on the pool deck driven by the coaches is what makes the Nitro engine run. Hard to describe 23 lanes of high-octane swimming churning at once, with coaches lined up and down the pool deck feeding off of each other, but that’s what we do.

What’s in your heart is more important than your resume, so I hope to hear from you! This might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting a long time for.

Looking to fill this as soon as we know it’s the right person.

Send me a note ([email protected]) explaining why you believe you are the one to take our kids to the top. Also include your competitive swimming and coaching experience with references.

Thank You! Mike Koleber, Nitro Swimming.

We are seeking a passionate and experienced coach to serve as the next Head Coach for the Lake Washington Masters Swim Team. As a Masters Head Coach, you will be responsible for designing and implementing swim training programs tailored to the needs and goals of adult swimmers.

About our team:
Lake Washington Masters is a registered club of U.S. Masters Swimming, a year-round team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for adults of all ages and abilities. We have a competitive group, from former Olympians and D1 Collegiate swimmers to triathletes and dedicated fitness swimmers. Our “slow” lanes do 100y repeats on a 2:00 send-off. Workouts are always challenging, but we make it fun by accepting that challenge and supporting our teammates every step of the way. Our swimmers prioritize both meeting their swimming goals and a strong sense of community.  Practices take place at Juanita Aquatics Center located on the campus of Juanita High School in Kirkland, WA.

Lake Washington Masters offers a Development Hour for those who don’t quite have the times of the Masters Swimmers, yet desire swim coaching and to achieve their swimming goals.  Some Development Hour participants are working toward joining Masters in faster lanes, other use Development Hours to maintain their fitness and enjoy our swimming community.

Lake Washington Masters is a program of Wave Aquatics, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire engagement in aquatics within the Eastside community.

As a Masters Head Swim Coach, you will provide the following:

• Leadership: Utilize your strong leadership qualities with your ability to coach and motivate swimmers towards their goals. Provide clear guidance and direction, fostering a collaborative and motivated work environment.

• Communication Skills: Use your excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively articulate training techniques and provide constructive feedback. Communicate effectively with Masters members and Wave staff regarding program logistics, schedule, and pool use.

• Technical Expertise: Proficiently demonstrate the use of stroke mechanics, training methodologies, and periodization techniques to optimize performance.

• Individualized Programming: Develop customized training plans tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each swimmer.

• Team Management: Oversee and manage team logistics, including meet entries, scheduling, membership, billing, and coordination of part-time assistant coaches.

• Community Engagement & Program Growth: Foster and grow a vibrant and inclusive Masters swim community through networking, outreach, marketing and collaboration with local organizations.

• Equity and Inclusion: Promote a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all members of our community, actively removing barriers to participation in Masters swimming.
