Mark Schubert is an American Hall of Fame swim coach best known as the coach of the USC Trojans from 1992-1996, and of Mission Viejo Nadadores swim club from 1972 to 1985, and 2016 to 2022. He was a long serving Olympic coach (1984-2008) and head swimming coach for the University of Texas women (1989-1992) and University of Southern California (1992-2006), taking his teams to three NCAA National titles.




Education


Schubert was first introduced to swimming by Dick Wells, his High School swim coach at Akron Ohio's Harvey S. Firestone High School. Mark swam the breaststroke and played trombone in the band. Securing a swimming scholarship, he swam for the University of Kentucky where he was an assistant coach his last two years. During his brief tenure, he helped guide the University of Kentucky Swim team to their most successful season in history up to that time. His first head coaching job was from 1971-1972 with Cuyahoga Falls High School in Ohio for one year.




Mission Viejo Nadadores


Starting with the Nadadores at only 23 in 1972, he grew the team from 50 to 500 members, with his swimmers winning 17 total Olympic medals, 124 National Championships, and five World titles. Swimmers from the Nadadores set 88 American, and 21 World records, and won a total of 44 national championship titles. He coached the team for thirteen years through 1985 before returning to the team in 2016. Due to the number of Olympians and world class swimmers he coached, his many years of coaching the Nadadores may have been the most significant part of his coaching legacy.
