Each coach brings a unique perspective to his or her practice sessions so make sure to check them all out!

Jeremy Fain
Coach
Jeremy Fain began competitive swimming at the age of 6 during the summers for Daleview Swimming Pool in Silver Spring, MD. At 12 he began year round USS competition with Rockville Montgomery Swim Club (RMSC). At 15 he made his first Junior Nationals qualifying times in the 50 and 100 free.
He has always been, and always will be, a sprinter. Jeremy swam all four years in college at Yale University and started as a Red Tide swimmer in the fall of 2003. He began coaching for the team in 2004 and looks forward to another great season for Red Tide. Jeremy does not like doing open water swims but encourages and appreciates all others that do them.

Tyrone is a New York City native. He started to swim competitively at age seven at the local YMCA in the Bronx. At age twelve he joined the West Side Y Marlins. There he became a 2-time YMCA State Champion in the 100 fly, YMCA National qualifier, and Junior National qualifier. Tyrone graduated from Saint Bonaventure University in 1997 where he won two A-10 championships and was a perennial finalist in the 100 and 200 fly.

Scott Werner
Coach
Scott Werner began swimming at the age of 4 in his hometown of Haymarket Virginia. As a member of the club team Solotar, Scott won several events at various Junior National Championships and competed in a number of Senior National Championships. In 1997, Scott was tapped for the U.S. National Junior Team and won a silver medal in the 200 Breastroke at the 1997 World University Games in Sicily. Scott went on to swim for the University of Michigan where he garnered several championship titles and served as the 2001 Men's Swimming and Diving team Captain. Scott was also a finalist at the 2000 Olympic Team Trials in the 200 Breastroke.
Scott began swimming and coaching for Red Tide in the spring of 2007, after a little arm-twisting from the team President Kristin Gary. His early skepticism about entering the world of masters swimming has been replaced with eternal gratitude because, as fate would have it, he really likes the people on the team.
