Introducing Our Coaches
Our swim team coaches are employees of NHSTC. This year we have a head coach and three assistant coaches. They run the workouts, place the swimmers in the appropriate meets and races, and help with various other activities for the teams.
Mike Mullen (Head Coach): My name is Michael Mullen and I am joining the Sharks this year as an assistant coach; and I can't wait to get the summer rolling! I grew up swimming in Texas on summer league programs similar to NHSTC until high school, when I joined a USS program. I swam in high school and college as a sprint freestyle specialist. I attended ASU, BYU, and the University of Utah, where I graduated with an Economics degree. I coached at a summer league team each summer during college, and fell in love with the atmosphere of kids and learning. I am an active swimmer and love to be in the pool. I am looking forward to making a positive contribution to the Newport Hills team this summer and getting to know each of you. Go Sharks!
Kate Schafer (Assistant Coach): Hi Sharks! My name is Kate Schafer and I’m so excited for my first year of coaching at Newport Hills! I attend Northern Arizona University (Go Lumberjacks!) where I will be a junior in the fall, and I’m a member of their swim team, too. I started swimming at Newport Hills when I was nine and I couldn’t be happier coming back as a coach. I’ve been swimming competitively for 10 years as a distance freestyler with Bellevue Club, at Hazen High School with Sara and Kim, and now in Arizona. I can’t wait to help coach the Sharks and I’m looking forward to having a blast this summer!

Swimmers and parents may also enter suggestions for improvement or just pass along a friendly "hello" in the Notebook. The Coaches' Notebook is located at the desk in the main office.
