Jeanine Surfus

I was born and raised in Muncie, IN and began teaching lessons and coaching while in High School. After moving to Pennsylvania in 1999, I coached at Palmyra Aquatic Club where I introduced the team to USA Swimming. In the six years that I coached there, we had Junior Olympic, Zone, and Sectional Qualifiers. From 2005-2015, I coached at the highly decorated Hershey Aquatic Club where I was the Head Developmental Coach and worked with athletes of all ages and abilities. I also coached Zones for 6 years while being a Middle Atlantic Coach. Moving to Maryland in 2015 , I started coaching at the Nationally ranked Machine Aquatic Club. While there from 2015-2019 , I coached the Age Group and Senior level athletes at the University of Maryland. Summer league swimming is important in the Washington area, so I took a role as the Swim Director/Head Coach of BBT swim team in Bowie from 2015-2018. We moved to Indiana in 2019 and I coached age group and High School at Zionsville Swim Club and Zionsville High school from 2019-2022. Having coached all levels, from beginners to nationally ranked swimmers, I am excited to further my coaching experience with FAST . I have three daughters, ages 28, 24, and 19.
