Stroke and Technique Swim Camp Coach

Niki Jones joined the staff at Florida Atlantic University and made the transition into the Sun Belt Conference in the fall of 2004. During her tenure at FAU, Jones has headed the distance program and has coached the women to a one, two, three sweep of the 1650 free at the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Sun Belt Conference Championship meets.

 

Jones comes to the Owls after serving as the head women's swimming and diving coach at Georgia Southern University. In the first season with the Eagles, the team improved to earn a third place finish at the Southern State Championship meet. Guiding the team into the Northeast Conference in 2004, she saw her team break records and finish third at the conference championships. In Jones’ short time with the Eagles she turned the program around and led the team to a winning record in her two seasons at the helm of the program.

 

Before gaining her head coaching position at Georgia Southern, Jones headed the Maclay Swim club in Tallahassee, FL, and was assisting with the Maclay High Scholl program. While in Tallahassee, Jones obtained her masters degree from Florida State University in Sport Management.

 

Jones got her first collegiate experience at her alma mater, the College of Charleston, where she served as an assistant coach after graduating in 1999. While attending the CofC she was on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll and the Academic Distinguished
List, was a team co-captain for the 1997-1999 seasons, and served as a co-president of the Student Athlete Advisory Board.
