Coach Gary Johnson
Coach Johnson is in his second year of coaching Bellaire High School, having joined the faculty last year, during COVID. He is also in his 11th year of coaching the Pin Oak Middle School Swim Team.
Coach Johnson competed in New York state from age 8 to 18. On his high school team, his primary events were breaststroke and IM.
In his “Spare” time, Coach Johnson teaches Physics at Bellaire. This often rolls over to swim practice where he teaches the “physics of swimming” to help swimmers understand the reason for some of the techniques we are teaching them.
In his “Spare” spare time, Coach Johnson likes walking his dog, reading, watching movies with his kids (we all like the Marvel Universe) and occasionally getting some sleep.

Coach Lucian "Luke" Collins
Coach Collins was raised in the United Kingdom where he was involved in many sports in high school: field hockey, rugby, tennis, badminton, rock climbing, judo, karate and squash. He was on the swimming and diving team and played soccer every day after school until the sun went down. These two passions followed him to California, where he enjoyed one of them regularly catching waves in the pacific ocean on a boogie-board. He is also a veteran of the U.S. Army.
Collins moved to Texas in 2001, graduated from UTSA (Go Roadrunners!) and completed graduate work at St. Mary's University (Go Rattlers!). He has been in classrooms since 2006, and has coached soccer for eight years.
He is really excited to be a new Bellaire family member. He teaches English IV and coaches men's soccer. Coaching the two water polo teams in their inaugural year is a great honor for him and he hopes to help make the Cardinals the absolute best that they can be.
