COACH MONICA HORSTMAN

head coach

I have been swimming competitively since the age of five.  I swam for North High and was a member of the Bakersfield College Swim Team. I transferred to the University of South Dakota and was Captain of my University Team my Senior year.  I have coached various teams and given swim lessons in California, South Dakota, and Nebraska for over 20 years. I recently moved back to Bakersfield to be closer to my family.  I’m excited to be coaching the Shafter Stingrays Team.  Let’s have a great summer!  ​
