Coach Shane Guelich attended Hamilton High School his freshman year before transferring and graduating from Brophy College Prep. While at Brophy, he was a part of the swim team and a culture whose motto was "For the Greater Glory of God". Over the span of his duration with Brophy Swim, he went on to place 2nd in both the 200 IM and the 100 Breast at state championships while also qualifying for nationals. Furthermore, he was apart of a state title winning swim team twice while at Brophy.
Currently, Shane is an incoming Senior attending Arizona State University (ASU) pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Finance. While at ASU, he has been a part of YoungLife as well as a few other Christian Clubs on campus.
This will be his first time as a swim coach, however, after being a competitor in this sport for 10 years, Shane believes he can provide a high level coaching technique and help to develop others in the sport! Coach Shane shared, "I am super excited to be a part of the VCHS swim team and embrace a Bible led culture while praising God in the sport."
Outside of Valley, Shane come from a family of six! He has two amazing parents, an older brother named Collin, a twin sister Taylor, and a little brother Micah, who is currently a student at VCHS! He loved growing up with his family going on lots of camping trips, off-road trips at the sand dunes, as well as relaxing in San Diego at the beach. On his own time he really enjoys building computers as well as utilizing them for gaming on the occasion. He has a Mini Australian Shepherd, named Chip, who he spends a lot of my time with going for walks or getting pup cups. He is also big into active sports such as wake-surfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, surfing, and cliff jumping!
