With exceptional students, accomplished faculty and staff, and a fiercely loyal and growing number of engaged alumni, Whitman College continues to build on its national reputation for academic excellence as one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. </span> </span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\"><a href=\"http://whitman.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Whitman College</a><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0)\"> is cultivating a community built on inclusion and belonging. We recognize the value of those who can offer historically underrepresented perspectives and encourage applications from those whose background, knowledge, and insights from lived experience can add to the college’s working and learning environment. Whitman College is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer (EEO).</span></span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">WHITMAN SWIMMING</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\"><a href=\"https://athletics.whitman.edu/sports/swimming-and-diving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Whitman Swimming</a> <span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0)\">has been a rising power within the northwest for the last decade. During that time, between our men’s and women’s teams, we have brought home eight conference titles, with both teams regularly finishing in the top three of the conference. In 2023, one of our men’s swimmers was a Division III NCAA National Champion in multiple events and was awarded NCAA Swimmer of the Meet. In 2025, the NWC “Rookie of the Meet” at our conference championship was one of our first-year women’s swimmers, and this past year, she was NWC women’s “Swimmer of the Meet.” We are proud of the improvements we see in swimmers from all swimming backgrounds during their time here, and attribute much of that success to quality swimming with a focus on technique, dedicated weight training, and holistic support for our student-athletes. The real key to everything we do, though, is the team dynamic, and continually creating an environment where our swimmers can be themselves, support each other, compete hard, and have fun.</span></span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">POSITION PURPOSE</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">Assist the Head Coach with all aspects of the Men’s and Women’s Swimming program in alignment with the College’s values and NCAA Division III philosophy.
