USA Swimming announced Thursday that Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club\u2019s Sue Chen<\/strong> and Chuck Batchelor<\/strong> of Bluefish Swim Club will lead the delegation to this summer\u2019s Junior Pan Pacs in Honolulu, Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Chen\u2019s appointment marks the first time a woman has served as the head coach for an American men\u2019s swimming roster in an international competition. It\u2019s Chen\u2019s first head coaching role for Team USA in international competition after serving as an assistant at the 2011 World Junior Championships.<\/p>\n

Chen has coached for more than 20 years and works with former U.S. Olympic coach Bruce Gemmell<\/strong> at NCAP. She has worked with Olympians Jack Conger<\/strong> and Katie Ledecky<\/strong> as well as World Juniors medalist Erin Gemmell<\/strong> and helped create USA Swimming\u2019s Women\u2019s Leadership Programs, aimed at helping develop female coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so thankful for USA Swimming for giving me this opportunity to be the men\u2019s head coach of the Junior Pan Pac team,\u201d Chen said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cI look forward to working with Chuck as I have known him for years and love what he is doing at Bluefish. Coaching athletes at this level is always inspiring to me. I look forward to getting to know the coaching staff, all the swimmers and to creating something powerful together as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Batchelor was the head coach for Team USA at the 2015 World Junior Championships. Before Bluefish, he coached at Barracuda Swimming and Peddie Aquatics in his 25-year career, mentoring swimmers like Elizabeth Beisel<\/strong> and Laura Sogar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe performances by the National Junior Team-level swimmers, especially in an Olympic year, is going to be so exciting to watch,\u201d Batchelor said. \u201cThis year in particular has a lot of developing young female performers who are eager to make an impact. We will no doubt see many of these names again and again on the world stage in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Junior Pan Pacs will take place Aug. 19-22. The roster will be set at U.S. Olympic Trials, with finishers in top 20 from birth years 2002 to 2007 eligible. Team USA collected 54 medals at the 2018 Junior Pan Pacs in Fiji<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSue and Chuck have both developed Olympians and know the work that has to be done for the athletes,\u201d said USA Swimming National Junior Team Director Mitch Dalton<\/strong>. \u201cThey understand excellence and know what the road looks like and they bring a lot of laughs with their experience. These Junior competitions are important stepping stones and experience builders in a young swimmer\u2019s career and Sue and Chuck\u2019s combined knowledge and bright personality will be such an asset for our team in Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
