Jack Bauerle (born c. 1952) is the head coach of the University of Georgia (UGA) men's and women's swimming teams. In the spring of 2014, he finished his 36th year as a head coach for the UGA women's team and his 32nd year as head men's coach. Bauerle began coaching the women's team in 1979 and later became head coach for the men's team as well in 1983. He has two children John and Magill who have both followed in Jack's footsteps.
Bauerle began swimming in the Philadelphia area at the Germantown YMCA, the Manor Lu Swim Club and the Philadelphia Aquatic Club. As a senior in 1970 he was a co-captain of the La Salle College High School team and also swam on four teams that won the Philadelphia Catholic League Championships. In 2010 Bauerle was inducted into the La Salle College High School Alumni Hall of Fame.
As a varsity swimmer at UGA from 1971-72 to 1974-75, Bauerle swam for head coach Pete Scholl and set UGA records in the 200-yard butterfly, 1,000- and 1,650-yard freestyle events and served as the team captain of the 1973-74 and 1974-75 squads.
As of the end of the 2013-2014 season Bauerle's teams have won six NCAA Women's national championships, eleven SEC Women's championships, and have finished second nationally seven times and in the top five 22 times. As of the end of the 2012-2013 season, he has coached 152 All-American women swimmers (including 690 First-Team and 375 Honorable Mention certificates), 92 All-American men swimmers (including 126 First-Team and 387 Honorable Mention certificates), and three Olympic gold medalists. In 2000 he was an Olympic swim coach; in 2003 and 2005, he was head coach for the Women's USA World Championship Team. Bauerle has been named NCAA coach of the year five times and SEC coach of the year 12 times. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Georgia in 1975.
On September 8, 2006, USA Swimming announced that Bauerle would be the head coach of the United States women's swimming team at the 2008 Summer Olympics. “Jack Bauerle is the consummate team coach. What he has done at the University of Georgia represents the pinnacle of team swimming, which is what the U.S. Olympic Team is all about. He brings a fun approach to the sport, and that will be key to producing Olympic success for our women’s team.”
