 John HootenHead CoachEmail
John
Hooten has been Barracuda Head Coach since 2005. He was introduced
to coaching swim while assisting his children in their last years
of youth swimming. In his first two years of coaching swimmers, his
age groups won 33 SSL league championships and broke 20 SSL league
records. Coach Hooten’s earlier coaching background was as a
rowing coach at Philadelphia’s Vesper Boat Club where he
produced 18 Olympians and 32 National team members. His Vesper
athletes won 15 Olympic and World Championship medals as well as 25
National Championship titles and included Anita DeFrantz, 1976
Olympic medalist, current International Olympic Committee member
and senior U.S. Representative to the IOC . From 1975 to 1980 he
was Olympic and National Team Coach, winning several international
events. Coach Hooten also spent one year as head coach of LaSalle
High School, where they were Philadelphia City Champions, and one
year as Head Coach of Temple University, where they were Dad Vail
Champions. After 1980, he retired from coaching to spend more time
with his family while his wife completed medical school and her
residency. He had always intended to go back to coach rowing when
his children were grown, but found coaching swimming at the grass
roots level more interesting, more fun and it involved far less
travel.
Coach Hooten has produced champions in several other sports
including basketball, soccer and unicycle riding. In 1995 he
started and has coached the Troopizi Unicycle Club. Over the years
he has taught hundreds of people (kids and adults) to ride
unicycles. Club riders have won 11 National Championship titles and
medals in each of the last 3 World Unicycle Championships including
Zack Baldwin, 2004 World Champion in Tokyo, Japan.
Since 1996 John Hooten has been the Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop
121 where over 150 boys from his troop have been advanced to the
rank of Eagle
Scout.
