Josh Sorensen
Assistant Head Coach

This will be my 11th year in coaching, and the 2nd year of my second stint with LASC. In my first stretch with LASC I spent six years in various coaching roles working with groups from Jr. Horns to National. During this time I was also served as the Assistant Coach for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns. In the interim, I spent four years as the Head Coach of both the Fort St. John Inconnu in B.C., and the Halifax Trojans in Nova Scotia, for two years each.

During my time as a coach, I have been blessed to have worked with a number of great athletes, leading to a few accomplishments:

  • Swim Nova Scotia  Coach of the Year - 2024
  • Swim Nova Scotia  Performance Coach of the Year - 2024
  • Swim Nova Scotia  Next Gen Program - Coach (2022-2024)
  • Coach of record for  8x Individual Provincial Records,  Junior Male Swimmer of the Year - 2024 and  ​Junior Female Swimmer of the Year - 2024
  • Swim Alberta  Future Coaches Program - 2018 & 2019

I look forward to the forthcoming year, and those to come.

After moving to Edmonton, she spent five years coaching with the Olympian Swim Club. Over the years, she has worked with swimmers of all levels—from pre-competitive to national qualifiers.
She is thrilled to once again coach the Olympic Way swimmers and share her experience and passion for the sport!
