Coaches

The Whitesharks have been fortunate to have some of the best coaches around. Their love of swimming and love of working with the team shows through in everything they do.

Jonathan Armstrong: Coach Jonathan Armstrong (Coach Jon) has been a Whiteshark coach since the team's inception in 1995. Jonathan grew up in Houston, Texas and was an NWAL swimmer for the Hearthstone Heatwaves for 9 years and Copperfield Assistant Coach for 1 year before becoming a coach for Wortham. He graduated from Cy-Fair High School in 1993 where he was a 4-year varsity swimming letter winner. He then attended Rice University where he swam for 4 years and graduated in 1997 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Jonathan continues to swim today for a local Masters program. Currently, Jonathan is an Engineer for ExxonMobil where he has been since 1997. Jonathan and wife, Coach Mindy have three young children, David (a Whiteshark), Caroline, and Leah. They are Wortham Villages residents, where Jonathan is also on the Wortham Homeowners Association Board of Directors.

Mindy Armstrong: Coach Mindy Armstrong has been a Whiteshark coach since 1998, the same year she married Coach Jon.  Mindy grew up in Katy, Texas and started swimming at 2 years old in the West Houston Aquatic League, where she swam 12 years. She graduated from Katy High School in 1994 where she was a 4-year varsity swimming letter winner. She swam for the University of Houston swim team and graduated in 1998 with a degree in Education.  Mindy taught elementary school in the Cy-Fair ISD for 5 years before taking time off after the birth of her son David.  Two little girls (Caroline and Leah) quickly followed, making Coach Mindy a busy mother of three.

Nikki Welch:  Coach Nicole Welch (Coach Nikki) has been a Whiteshark coach since the 2009 season. Nikki grew up and currently resides in Dansville, NY where she was a 5 year member of the Dansville High School Varsity Swim Team. Her freshman year of college she attended Elizabethtown College where she was a member of the Women’s Cross Country and Outdoor Track Team as well as the Women’s Varsity Swim Team.

Over the course of the past year, Nikki spent her time back in New York coaching her old high school varsity girls and boys swim team as well as the Dansville Swim Club. Nikki is very excited to be back for a second season with the Whiteshark family!
