Andy Weinberg

Weinberg joined the Middlebury staff in the summer of ’08 as an Assistant Swimming Coach and Assistant Aquatics Director at Middlebury. Prior to his arrival at Middlebury, Weinberg was the Head Swimming Coach and a Physical Education Teacher for 12 years at Pekin Community High School in Pekin, Illinois.

During his tenure there, he helped turn around a relatively unknown program of 15 female and seven male athletes to a successful, well-respected program of 50 to 60 male and 50 to 60 female swimmers who have turned the high-school swim team into a beacon program in the community. While at Pekin Community High School, he was selected to be the Illinois Sectional Coach-of-the-Year six of his 12 years. His teams won a total of 11 Conference and Sectional Championships in central Illinois, while he boasted 12 Illinois State Finalists and five High-School All-Americans. His girls’ teams posted a 94-33 dual-meet record, while his boys’ programs went 90-24.

Prior to his time at Pekin Community High School, Weinberg taught Physical Education and was the Assistant Swim Coach for his former high school coach, Corky King, at Richwoods High School for two years. In that time, he had the opportunity to coach many of the team’s senior and junior-national level swimmers, as well as one Olympic Trial qualifier, who later went on to have a successful NCAA Division I career.

Weinberg earned a B.S. degree from Southwest Missouri State University, and an M.A. degree from St. Xavier University. As a captain of the Southwest Missouri State University swim team, he once held varsity records in the 500 free (4:33), 1,000 free (9:30), and graduated with a record in the 1,650 free (15:50) and a a member of the 800 free relay team.
