PictureCoach Gary Johnson
Coach Johnson is in his first year of coaching Bellaire High School, having joined the faculty last year, during COVID.  He is also in his 10th 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.
