Crawfish Aquatics Hires Mathew Mixon As Senior Division Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crawfish Aquatics has announced Mathew Mixon<\/strong> will lead the Baton Rouge program’s senior division as head coach.<\/p>\n

Mixon brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and a proven track record of developing swimmers at all levels\u2014from age group to national competitors.<\/p>\n

Coach Mixon coached most recently at Sunkist Swim Club, where he led the program to compete in many national level competitions with top-eight finishes.<\/p>\n

“Throughout the selection process, Coach Mixon impressed us with his vision for the future of our team, commitment to athlete growth, passion for the sport and overall knowledge of swimming at an elite level. We are confident that his leadership will inspire our swimmers and strengthen our club\u2019s presence both in and out of the pool. That success was seen again this summer,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

The spring and summer saw Crawfish Aquatics athletes and the team achieve high levels of success. The team was once again team champions at the Louisiana Swimming State Championships for both the age group and senior meets.<\/p>\n

The team had nine first time sectional qualifiers and three new Summer Junior National Qualifiers and two new Winter Junior National Qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Coach Mixon, along with Baton Rouge Senior Associate Head Coach Daniel Zielinski<\/strong> and Lafayette Head Coach Thomas<\/strong> Clavier<\/strong>, will lead the senior coaching ranks.<\/p>\n
