Coronado Swim Team Elite<\/p><\/div>\n

Coronado Swim Team Elite (CSTE<\/strong>) has announced the hiring of Sam Hoekstra <\/strong>as its new Head Coach, following a nationwide search led by International Swimming Hall of Fame inductee and four-time U.S. Olympic Coach David Marsh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hoekstra is a former NCAA All-American <\/strong>at the University of Louisville<\/strong> and a University of Michigan swimmer.<\/p>\n

He has built a reputation as a detail-driven, innovative coach, most recently serving as Associate Head Coach at The Race Club<\/strong> under Gary Hall Sr.<\/strong>, where he worked with elite athletes on performance optimization.<\/p>\n

Since 2013, Hoekstra has guided multiple club and high school programs in Michigan, including Byron Center High School<\/strong>, Byron Center Aquatics, and West Ottawa Swim Club. He has also served as an Elite Clinician with the Fitter & Faster Swim Tour<\/strong>, recognized for helping swimmers achieve breakthrough results through precise technical instruction.<\/p>\n

His coaching philosophy centers on quality over quantity, focusing on event-specific training, integrated stroke analysis, mental preparation, and keeping practices engaging and fun.<\/p>\n

Building an Elite Coaching Network<\/h3>\n

Hoekstra will work alongside a strong daily staff that includes Jon Burkett<\/strong> and Anna Bai<\/strong>, with administrative support from Mel Eisenhamer<\/strong>. CSTE has also assembled an extended consulting network of coaches that includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Peter Linn<\/strong>, longtime Eastern Michigan Head Coach<\/strong> and technical leader.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

  • \n

    Marko Djordjevic<\/strong>, UC San Diego Head Coach<\/strong>, collaborating on athlete development pathways.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Together, this staff positions CSTE as one of the most experienced and innovative swim coaching environments in the country.<\/p>\n

    Training at Premier San Diego Facilities<\/h3>\n

    CSTE continues to train at two of the region\u2019s best aquatic centers:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      UC San Diego\u2019s Canyonview Aquatic Center<\/strong>, featuring two outdoor Olympic-size pools.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Coronado Community Aquatics Center<\/strong>, with a 50m pool overlooking the bay and Coronado Bridge.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      About Sam Hoekstra<\/h3>\n

      As a swimmer, Hoekstra earned NCAA All-America honors and set relay records. He has expertise in stroke efficiency, underwater technique, body line, strength training, nutrition, and recovery. He also has a notable water polo background, becoming the only player in Michigan history to earn All-American honors both as a field player and as a goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

      Originally from Michigan, Hoekstra studied Exercise Science at Louisville. He and his wife Lauren, along with their three daughters, relocated to San Diego earlier this year.<\/p>\n
