Head Coach
Jackie Hoglund

Jackie has been passionate about competitive swimming since the age of eight. She began her journey with our rivals, the Newton Swim Team, before moving on to the New England Barracudas, a U.S. Swim Club, and eventually competing at the Division III collegiate level at Middlebury College. Today, she is the proud mom of four current or former swimmers—Ellie (17), Tessa (13), Drew (13), and Livvy (9). After serving three years on the WSA board, Jackie is excited to step into the role of Head Coach this season. Whether cheering from the stands or coaching on the pool deck, she brings energy, experience, and a lifelong love of swimming to the team.

Assistant Coaches

Ellie Hoglund
Ellie has spent her entire life around the pool. A dedicated member of the WSA swim team from 2020 to 2024, she brings years of experience and enthusiasm to the sport. Ellie loves her after-school job as a swim instructor at Lifetime Fitness. Additionally, she is a senior intensive at the Child Lab preschool at Wellesley High School, where she helps guide young children through early learning and development. Her passion for working with kids—both in and out of the pool—drives her excitement to return this year as a coach for Wellesley Swimming.

Molly Jordan
Molly swam competitively from ages 6-22. She swam on Crimson Aquatics, Metrowest Aquatics, the Wellesley High School swim team, and Division III at Skidmore College for all four years. She's been a swim instructor since 2018, and has worked with swimmers of all ages and abilities, from beginners to Special Olympics athletes. She currently works as a kindergarten teacher at Sprague Elementary School. She is passionate about fostering growth in kids both in and out of the pool, emphasizing strong technique, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
