Jeremy Clark - Assistant Coach

(Fairmont Site)

I was born and raised in Spring, Texas, a suburb of Houston, where I started club swimming my sophomore year in high school.  While in high school, I set five pool and school records and was the team captain my senior year.  I was then recruited to swim at Indian River Community College where I became an eight-time All American and a five-time National Champion athlete.  After finishing my associate’s degree, I was recruited to swim at the University of Utah for my last two years of eligibility.  My third year of college, I was presented with the 2005-2006 University of Utah Athlete of the Year Award and in my fourth year of college I received the Burton Ellis Academic Excellence Award.  During my senior year, I was chosen as one of the team captains for the University’s swim team. During my fifth year of undergraduate studies, I had the pleasure of being the fifth year assistant swim coach for the University of Utah under the guidance of Greg Winslow and Ron Lockwood.  I also had the opportunity to coach with Joe Pereira at Skyline high school where the girls won the 5A high school state championships and the boys took third overall.  This past spring I graduated with two bachelor’s degrees, one in Health Promotion and Education, and one in Communication, with a minor in Leadership.  For the next two years I will be enrolled at the University of Utah’s graduate program for Exercise and Sport Science emphasizing in Special Physical Education.   After receiving my master’s degree, I plan on teaching at a public school while continuing my coaching career.

I started swimming when I was ten living in Maryland. I swam for the Rockville Montgomery Swim Club for five years and qualified for sectionals by age 14. After I moved to Utah in 2004, I joined the Eagle Aquatic Team and swam for Skyline High School. I was a 5A Utah High School State Champion in 5 events, named a Utah Academic All-American, and National All-American in the 200IM and 500 Free and 400 Freestyle Relay. During my 3 years on Skyline High School swim team, I assisted the team in winning three straight state championships and served as a team captain my senior year. After graduating high school, I went on to attend and swim for the University of Utah. I swam for 2 years and now currently have retired from NCAA athletics while still attending the University. During my two seasons with the University of Utah Swim and Dive Team, I competed at the Mountain West Conference Championships and was named Academic All-Mountain West both years. It was also where I first met Coach Ron Lockwood. Although I no longer swim competitively, I still enjoy the sport and want to remain connected to it in any way I can. I am glad to offer my expertise as a coach to help other young swimmers achieve their goals.
