Batchelor takes over a program that has seen a lot of transition in the past year with hopes of providing stability and leadership for one of the country&#8217;s top clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Batchelor is best known for coaching U.S.\u00a0Olympian\u00a0<strong>Elizabeth Beisel<\/strong> when she qualifed for her first senior national team at age 13 and her first Olympic team at age 15 and for the entirety of her age group career before she departed for the University of Florida, and Batchelor continued to play a role in Beisel&#8217;s training until the end of her career. Batchelor also coached U.S. national champion\u00a0breaststroker\u00a0<strong>Laura Sogar<\/strong> at Bluefish, and he continued to guide strong high school-aged swimmers in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts through this past season. Batchelor and his wife, <strong>Christie<\/strong>, own and manage the Bluefish Swim Club.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bluefish, it\u2019s more than just a job or a team. Sixteen years, and I think it was time. Really excited about a new adventure. It kind of frees Christie up to pursue some other things that she\u2019s interested in, whereas at Bluefish, that would have been harder to do.&#8221; Batchelor said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then, why SwimMAC? I think that\u2019s actually pretty obvious. It\u2019s a pretty incredible program. <strong>Kathy McKee<\/strong> and <strong>Russ Kasl<\/strong> are two of the finest coaches and people on the planet. It\u2019s clear to me that the success of that program, it\u2019s certainly a combination of a lot of things, but those two people being there for such a long time and just constantly doing a great job with athletes and putting great systems in place. There\u2019s so much good there, so I\u2019m really excited. It\u2019s an honor to try to add something that\u2019s already really awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Batchelor will be returning to the Tar Heel state after he attended and swam for the University of North Carolina in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>SwimMAC has gone through a year of major transition. Following previous head coach <strong>Terry Fritch&#8217;s<\/strong> departure, <strong>Eric Lane<\/strong> was interim head coach last fall before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmac-carolina-hires-megan-oesting-as-head-swimming-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Megan Oesting<\/strong> began in the head coaching role on Nov. 1, 2020<\/a>. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/megan-oesting-to-step-down-as-head-coach-of-swim-mac-carolina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oesting left the club on July 1, 2021<\/a>, because of &#8220;differing management and cultural styles,&#8221; and <strong>Kathy McKee<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Russ Kasl<\/strong> became the interim head coaches.<\/p>\n<p>SwimMAC produced five U.S. Olympic swimmers in 2016 when\u00a0<strong>David Marsh<\/strong> coached a group of professionals under the club&#8217;s banner, and in the years since, the club has still produced elite teenage swimmers regularly. At the Speedo Summer Championships in Greensboro just last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/speedo-summer-championships-charlie-clark-swims-1504-1500-free-in-greensboro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SwimMAC relays broke<\/a> a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/speedo-summer-championships-cooper-van-der-laan-mackenzie-looze-win-strong-100-breaststroke-races\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Age Group records<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the future of Bluefish Swim Club, off a year that Batchelor considers &#8220;absolutely wonderful&#8221; and &#8220;one of the best years we&#8217;ve ever had,&#8221; he said he expects the club to &#8220;row and evolve but basically that the fundamental philosophies are kept intact. We have a couple of good options of people that we\u2019re talking to. There\u2019s going to be good people involved that are like-minded. We\u2019re not super motivated to make a killing off a sale of it. We\u2019re not going to turn around and sell to the highest bidder or anything like that. It\u2019s going to be taken care of, and we\u2019ll be excited to watch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmaccarolina.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SwimMAC<\/a>, Batchelor will no longer have full autonomy over the club with a parent board of directors and a leadership team including McKee, Kasl and executive director\u00a0<strong>Brandi Jones<\/strong> in the mix, but Batchelor is excited to manage the operations with a group with the club&#8217;s and the swimmers&#8217; best interests at heart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They care about the success of the program and the swimmers more than anybody,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I felt like, how is that a bad thing? I\u2019m sure, at times, there might be a difference of opinion on how to get to the end, but if we\u2019re both trying to get to the same end, I can work with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div
