Assistant Coach β€” Florida Atlantic Aquatics

Job Description

πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ Assistant Coach β€” Florida Atlantic Aquatics

Boca Raton, FL | Where Ambition Meets Opportunity

Every great team has a Pied Piper.
Someone whose energy is contagious.
Someone who makes swimmers look forward to practice, pushes them with positivity, and builds a culture that kids, parents, and staff want to follow.

If that sounds like you β€” Florida Atlantic Aquatics (FAA) wants you on deck.

🌟 The Opportunity

We’re searching for a motivating, high-energy, growth-minded coach to join our staff as an Assistant Coach.

This is a part-time role to start, with real potential to grow into a full-time position for the right candidate. You’ll work directly alongside Coach Rich Rogers, a nationally recognized coach who has guided swimmers to National Age Group #1s, Junior National titles, and Top-20 national team rankings β€” all while building a team culture that thrives on science, passion, and purpose.

You’ll primarily work with:

  • Age Group swimmers (10–14) β€” building rock-solid fundamentals at a high technical standard

  • Older, newer/less experienced swimmers (HS level) β€” helping them bridge the gap to competitive excellence

This is a hands-on, high-impact coaching role β€” not a clipboard job. You’ll help shape practices, connect with athletes, and bring your voice and presence to the team every day.

🧠 What Makes This Special

This isn’t just a job β€” it’s a chance to be mentored inside a nationally ranked program that blends elite methodology with a culture kids love to be part of.

You’ll be immersed in:

  • πŸ§ͺ Cutting-edge training methods rooted in Dr. Sergei Beliaev’s Super Sport Systems (3S) methodology

  • 🧠 Progressive team culture building β€” learning how to inspire groups, not just run sets

  • πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ Parent education systems that strengthen the swimmer-coach-family triangle

  • πŸ“ˆ Professional mentoring β€” designed to groom you for a long-term coaching career

Think of it like a paid high-performance coaching internship, but with real deck responsibility and a pathway forward.

πŸ› οΈ Where You Can Grow

As we build together, opportunities will open in:

  • πŸŒ… Morning training groups

  • πŸ‹οΈ Dryland leadership

  • πŸ—‚οΈ Team management & logistics

  • πŸŽ₯ Video analysis and race breakdowns

  • πŸ“² Social media and program storytelling

  • πŸ“ Administrative projects and seasonal planning exposure

Initiative and vision are rewarded here. If you bring ideas and energy, we’ll give you the runway to run with them.

πŸ“ Location

Boca Raton, FL, training at Florida Atlantic University. Year-round outdoor pool, great weather, and a thriving swim community.

πŸ“ What We’re Looking For

  • Positive, energetic, and genuinely motivated to help young swimmers grow

  • Strong communication skills with athletes, parents, and peers

  • Competitive swimming and/or coaching experience (any level β€” passion & teachability matter most)

  • Coachable, reliable, and committed to team vision

  • Current or ability to obtain USA Swimming Coaching Certification

  • Must successfully pass FAU background check, USA Swimming background check, and SafeSport certification

Bonus points for:

  • Age group coaching experience

  • Dryland or strength training knowledge

  • Administrative / leadership skills

Florida Atlantic Aquatics is one of the fastest-rising teams in the country. We combine elite methodology with authentic culture, and we’re building a staff that wants to grow together β€” not just punch the clock.
