Jennifer Gibson

Board Member

It is an honor to serve on the USA Swimming Board. My hope is that by utilizing the diverse experiences that I have been blessed with, I am able to contribute to the future growth and success of this proven institution with the utmost transparency and trust.

The motto “Big Enough to Serve, Small Enough to Care” speaks to my belief that we must all do our part to ensure that USA Swimming continues to strive for ALL members while providing for our top athletes to remain No. 1 in the world.

As an active USA Swimming Coach since 1983, I have had the good fortune of coaching in multiple LSC’s around the country while working with top programs. This has allowed me the privilege to learn and grow as a coach under a variety of situations, while engaging diversity. I started coaching in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for the first 18 years of my coaching career. From there, I have had the rewarding experiences of coaching in Charlotte, North Carolina, Phoenix, Arizona and currently in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Besides being a first-year USA Swimming Board of Director member, I also became the General Chair for the Florida Gold Coast LSC in January 2020. This has enabled me to expand my insight at the local and club level, which I have found the most rewarding. Besides being a career age group coach, my husband, Dave, and I have been swim parents for the past 37 years! I’ve also served as a former high school and summer league coach, LSC Board Member in four LSC’s, camp staff, clinic speaker, USA Swimming National Team Manager for seven international team trips and as a ASCA Board Member and National Committee Member of Age Group Development.
