Our Coaches

John Hooten
	This is John Hooten's forth year as head coach of the Barracudas. He came to swimming as a coach to help 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 including Anita DeFrantz, 1976 Olympic medalist, current International Olympic Committee member and senior U.S. representative to the IOC . His teams at Vesper won 25 National Championship titles. 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 have more time for his family while his wife was in medical school and residency. He had always intended to go back to coach rowing when his children were grown, but found coaching swimming at the grass roots to more interesting and 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 . For the last 10 years John Hooten has been the Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 121. During that time over 110 boys from his troop have been advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout.
