Queens University of Charlotte and its swim programs are pleased to announce the\u00a0addition of Matthew Johnson<\/strong> to the Royals staff as an assistant men\u2019s and women\u2019s swim coach.\u00a0Johnson spent this past summer as the volunteer assistant coach for the Royals aiding in distance\u00a0performance for the team. His work with the Royals helped two swimmers qualify for the 2015 Olympic Trials.<\/p>\n

In addition to his time on the deck at Queens, Johnson spent this summer with SwimMAC Team Elite\u00a0helping coaches with some of the top athletes in the world. Johnson’s responsibilities included assisting\u00a0with workouts and watching techniques to help athletes perform to their optimal level as he worked with\u00a0swimmers at all levels of competition.<\/p>\n

Before traveling to Charlotte, N.C., Johnson worked with the University of Michigan and Club Wolverine\u00a0serving as the program assistant to both programs for the 2014-2015 season. While working under World\u00a0University Game and Olympic coaches Mike Bottom<\/strong>, Josh White<\/strong>, and Rick Bishop<\/strong>, Johnson gained\u00a0valuable experience watching and helping develop top caliber athletes.<\/p>\n

His time at the University of Michigan enabled Johnson to work with a top level team helping the\u00a0Wolverines to a Big Ten Championship, followed by third place at the NCAA National Championship\u00a0meet. While in Ann Arbor, Johnson worked with Club Wolverine Elite Team that includes Olympians\u00a0including Conner Jaeger<\/strong> (2012) and Sean Ryan<\/strong> (2016) and as a part of the age group program, he helped\u00a0lead the Club Wolverine swimmers on to become state champions alongside Laura Cowley<\/strong>. Johnson’s\u00a0coaching efforts saw over 50 top 16 state swims including two individual and two relay teams claiming a\u00a0state championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnown to be an excellent stroke technician and well-read, I look to welcome Matthew to Queens in his\u00a0role of assistant coach,\u201d said Head Coach Jeff Dugdale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Johnson swam collegiately at Darton College and Union College, graduating from Union in 2012 with a\u00a0degree in Health and Human Performance. He was a top 8 national swimmer on three different occasions\u00a0and served as captain of his college swim team. During college Johnson was the head coach for the\u00a0Mountain Park Sharks from 2006-2012 and after college was asked to be the Senior and Age Group Head\u00a0Coach for the West Georgia Swim Club from 2012-2014.<\/p>\n
