Swim Coaches
My name is Josh Chapman and I am incredibly excited to be leading the team as Head Coach this summer. I am currently a senior at Walton High School, and this fall, I’ll be heading to the University of Tennessee to pursue a degree in Civil Engineering. My background in the pool includes 11 years of competitive swimming with Swim Atlanta and four years on the Walton varsity team. During my time at Walton, I’ve been honored to earn 1st Team All-State recognition and a 2nd place finish in the 50 Free at the 6A State Championships. I’ve also been named Team MVP multiple times, earned All-County honors, and had the privilege of contributing to our school’s state championship and runner-up finishes, as well as setting several relay records at both the school and county levels. Outside of swimming, I’ve played football and basketball, and in my free time, I really enjoy playing golf.
I am a rising senior at Walton High School. I have been a competitive swimmer for 8 years with Chattahoochee Gold, and I swim on Walton's Varsity Swim and Dive Team. My favorite stroke is Butterfly. I'm currently working towards my Eagle Scout rank, and in my free time I like to sleep, eat, and play with my dog.
