Chris Plumb, head coach of Carmel Swim Club and Carmel High School, talks about what it actually takes to build and sustain one of the most successful programs in the country.
Since stepping into his role, Chris has helped transform Carmel into a true pipeline for elite and Olympic-level athletes, while also leading a culture that has produced decades of consistent success.
In this conversation, Chris shares insight into maintaining excellence year after year, developing athletes from the age group level to the international stage, and leading a program that continues to set the standard in our sport. We also talk about his experience on the 2024 Olympic coaching staff and how that perspective has shaped his approach moving forward.
