The 2026 National Junior Team Camp coaching staff for the women’s and men’s camps is finalized, with one head coach and three assistant coaches per camp. The women’s camp is April 10-14, and the men’s camp is April 15-19, both to be held at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Between the two camps, almost 70 athletes will be attending.
“The strength of this camp lies in the caliber of the coaching staff,” said Brendan Hansen, USA Swimming Director of the National Junior Team. “This experienced and dynamic staff will create an environment that sharpens focus and prepares our athletes for success on the road to LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032. These coaches will make a lasting impact as they draw from their wide range of experiences to help develop the next generation of elite athletes.”

DeBoor will be leading assistant coaches Brent Arckey (Head Coach and CEO of the Sarasota Sharks), Allie Fogleman (Assistant National Coach at Jersey Wahoos Swim Club), and Joe Keller (Head Coach at Fishers Area Swimming Tigers).
The men’s team camp will be led by head coach Kevin Zacher and will consist of 39 men. He is currently the Head Coach at Santa Clara Swim Club. Previously, Zacher coached at every level within the Scottsdale Aquatic Club (SAC) and was named the Head Coach and CEO in 2007.
