Camp Director

Scott Armstrong

Scott Armstrong was named the head coach of the Johns Hopkins men's and women's swimming teams on May 26, 2016. He is just the fourth head head coach of the Johns Hopkins swimming program since the 1968-69 season.

In his first season with the Blue Jays, Armstrong led the men's program to a fourth-place finish at the 2017 NCAA Championship. Twelve Blue Jays combined to earn 35 All-America honors at the championship, highlighted by senior Evan Holder's win in the 200 Free. He broke the oldest record on the books in Division III swimming - a 29-yeard-old record - to win the 200 Free in 1:36.42. In addition, senior Andy Greenhalgh was named a CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American and earned an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Greenhalgh was also named the C. Gardner Mallonee Award winner, which is given to the senior male who has made the most outstanding contributions in athletics at Johns Hopkins.

Armstrong returned to Baltimore after serving four years as the assistant men's swimming coach at Stanford. He also had coaching stints at Johns Hopkins, the North Baltimore Aquatic Club (NBAC) and USA Swimming.

Armstrong is a 2003 graduate of the University and was inducted into the Johns Hopkins Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015. He will be the fourth active member of the Blue Jay coaching staff that is a graduate of Johns Hopkins, joining Bob Babb `77 (baseball), Jim Margraff '82 (football) and Dave Pietramala `90 (men's lacrosse).

Armstrong joined the Stanford coaching staff in 2012 and worked daily with head coach Ted Knapp on all aspects of team operations. He was instrumental in compiling top-five recruiting classes in the nation in each of his years in Palo Alto. He worked primarily with the distance and IM groups and mentored standout student-athletes Maxwell Williamson (Pan American bronze medalist), Abrahm DeVine (400 IM school record holder) and David Nolan. Nolan won three individual NCAA titles and in 2015 set the NCAA, US Open and American record in the 200 IM. Armstrong's distance and IM group has impressed at the PAC-12 Championships, placing 18 swimmers in the championship finals of the 200 IM over the last four years and claiming three titles each in the 1650 Free and 200 IM. His swimmers have also competed at the World University and Pan American Games.
