Meet our NEW Topspin Team Head Coach: Christian Mowles
So excited to welcome Coach Crhistian Mowles to the Topspin staff. He will be joining us at Topspin as the new Summer Team Head Coach. Plan to come to Topspin swim team's Open House. Saturday May 13th, noon to 2:00p to meet him and the coaching staff in person.
Hello Topspin Swim Team Members,
I am looking forward to meeting all of you. Our first opportunity to meet will be May 13, noon-2:00p at Topspin for a Meet and Greet. At that time, we will have a TYR suit sizing kit so your swimmers may try on a suit and will have goggles for sale. Also, we will have volunteer sign ups for our home swim meets. Check out the available jobs here. It’s an ideal time to check out the improvements to the facility too!
To give you a better idea of my background and who I am, I am including some basic info about myself. I grew up swimming in Boston before moving to Columbia in 2011 to attend USC. After graduating with a Masters in Secondary Social Studies Education, I began coaching and teaching at Brookland-Cayce as well as coaching for the YCSC Mudcats, and the Northwest YMCA Seals. During my 7 years as coach for the BC Bearcats and the Airport Eagles, I coached a multi-state champion and multiple podium finishers at the SCHSL AAA and AAAA State Championship Meet and was the 2020 AAA-V Region Coach of the Year.
As a club coach, I worked with a multitude of groups, ages, and abilities. My primary focus was with the Junior Group, where I coached multiple Age Group Sectional qualifiers, state champions, and future Y-Nationals qualifiers. Additionally, as the Northwest YMCA Seals Head Summer League Coach, I led the Seals to a runner-up City Meet finish in 2018 before leading the Seals to an undefeated regular season and City Meet Championship in 2019.
Off the pool deck and outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my wife (and wonderful team rep for this summer, Meredith Mowles), my eight-year-old stepdaughter and current TS Swimmer, and my one year old daughter. Cooking, reading, fishing, and watching Boston sports teams and the Gamecocks are what I enjoy doing in my free time.
I look forward to meeting you all soon and can’t wait for the start of summer!
Coach Christian Mowles
