HRA is additionally committed to excellence in performance and we continue to strive to be the competitive leader in state, national, and international competitions.

Due to facility limitations, and an emphasis on development, team size is limited to approximately 80 swimmers aged 7-18. Despite the smaller program size, HRA has had an excellent record in state, regional and national competitions.  The program annually draws the top swim talent in the community and many have to be turned away each year due to the limitations we have on size.

e.        Ability to lead, inspire and mentor student-athletes.

HRA currently has 2 assistant age-group coaches and a dryland coach who works with the older more developed swimmers three times per week.  Compensation will be conservative and commensurate with that of a small USA Swim Club.  The Board of Directors will consider and explore opportunities for additional incentive based compensation on a season by season basis.  The Head Coach is expected to be at all meets and practices.  Standard travel expenses for meet travel will be covered by the club. 

Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, resume and at least 3 references to hradirectors@gmail.com.  Applicant review will begin on January 29, 2013 with interviews to follow in early February.  All applicants must comply with USA Swimming Membership Requirements and must have satisfactorily completed safety training, a criminal background check and all required USA Swimming education requirements, including but not limited to: Athlete Protection Training, Safety Training and Foundations of Coaching.
