The coaching staff for the Pacer Swim & Dive Team strive to make each individual athlete better in the pool and a better member of the Pacer's Community. All coaches bring unique experiences in Swimming & Diving to their coaching; this helps develop growth in all the Pacer Athletes. See more information about each coach below.
Coach Eiben brings a variety of experience to Pacer Swim & Dive and is excited to continue creating a successful Swim Program at Hayes High School. As a native of Strongsville, Ohio, he began swimming at an early age - competing with local Summer Swim Leagues (similar to DARTS in Delaware), spent time training with SWAT club swimming(South West Aquatic Team), and competing with the Strongsville High School Swim Team. In college he continued with Club Swimming at OSU, while taking multiple classes focusing on Stroke development and technique. During 2017-2020 Eiben was the Head Coach for Bradford Red Devils in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He also has experience assistant coaching with Buckeye Swim Club before landing with the Pacer Swim & Dive team. Coach Eiben joined the Pacers in 2020 - 2021 as an assistant coach.
Coach Eiben also currently teachers Physical Science at Hayes High School and is most commonly working with Freshman in Physical Science. This is his 9th year of teaching and absolutely loves inspiring students to ask questions about the world and become curious about the world around them. But the best part is seeing the confidence each student gains from the start to the end of the year, very similar to the confidence that is built as part of the team!
Coach Eiben is excited to bring his experiences from the swim world to the Pacers Program. He understands that the program is already built for success and wants to expand to make the Pacers a power-house in the area. OCC Championship meets and sending Athletes to the State tournament are among his top goals.
