Head Coach, Jared Miller

Coach Jared has swimming in his blood. At the age of just three years old, Jared entered his very first   swimming class after his dad enrolled him in lessons. By age four, he found himself in his first competitive   swimming event, which was at the annual Black History Swim Meet. Coach Jared believes swimming has   impacted numerous aspects of his life. Swimming has offered him the ability to make great lifelong friends; to fund most of his college education; and to apply the principles of discipline, hard work, and perseverance to his everyday life. Whenever anyone endeavors to get better at something, setting goals is an important part of that improvement process. For Coach Jared, this is one of the most gratifying parts of the job: coming up with creative ways for each unique swimmer to accomplish his or her personal swimming-related goals.

In addition to his skill as a teacher, Jared is a highly decorated swimmer in his own right. He swam for the Howard University swim team, where he left holding nine school records, including for the butterfly, backstroke, and freestyle events. Over the course of his swimming career, he amassed swimming records at pools across the DMV area, with the most records at Takoma Aquatic Center in northwest Washington, DC. At that pool alone, he holds over forty records, which span from the “eight and under” category to the “fifteen to eighteen” age group.
