Coaching Staff
Coach Janine will lead the team as Head Coach, and this will be her 15th year with the Del Norte Dolphins! She started competing at age 4 and then for American River College, where she qualified and competed in the State Championships in the 50 and 100 yard Backstroke. In 2025, Janine retired after her 22 year career as a Deputy Probation Officer with the County of Sacramento. During her career in Law Enforcement she competed in the United States Police and Fire Games in swimming in six different games, winning several gold medals. Coach Janine loves all aspects of swimming – whether it is competing, coaching, teaching lessons or open water racing. She has coached all levels but loves the Dolphin swimmers the very best. Janine loves helping people improve their technique and achieve their personal bests, but most of all she hopes they love and continue swimming for the rest of their lives! Coach Janine is so proud of her 2 boys, Joshua (20) and Zachary (18), and she is very happy they love swimming, too!
