Head Coach, Jodi Tamosunas

Jodi began her lifelong commitment to swimming in high school as an all-american, district champion. She then went on to swim at Linfield College in Oregon, where she earned a spot on the Wildcat National Team multiple years. Upon completion of her collegiate swimming career and earning her undergraduate degree at Linfield, she then went on to to earn a graduate degree in Education from Pacific University in Oregon. According to Jodi, swimming played a big role in her successes in life, and she is passionate about teaching her swimmers personal and athletic growth through the sport. “Swimming can be a catalyst to many things in life. It teaches athletes invaluable lessons about character, motivation, perseverance, and accomplishment.” Jodi has experience coaching and teaching these lessons at many levels, including high school, summer recreational teams, adult masters, and community college.
She has also lead camps and directed learn-to-swim programs. Her passion and value for what the sport of swimming has to offer young adults and children is the only motivation she needs to continue coaching. As someone who still swims herself, she encourages anyone to join swimming—it is truly a lifelong sport!
