Darden Tate - Head Coach

Hello, Dolphins!

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Darden, and I am very excited to be the head coach this summer at West Broadway. This is my second year on staff at WBSC and my second summer living in Columbia.

A bit about me: I am a rising junior on the Mizzou Swim and Dive Team, specializing in sprint freestyle, and I am majoring in health science. I am from Columbia, South Carolina, and I have been swimming for almost 17 years and coaching for five years with various summer-league clubs.

Fun facts: I was the youngest swimmer to compete in my summer-league championships back home—when I was three years old—and last summer I had the opportunity to race at the Olympic Trials in Indianapolis against some of the best swimmers in the world.

I am super excited to coach all of you this summer and to see some familiar faces! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns before the season starts.

My email is dardentate@gmail.com and my phone number is (803) 261-9804.
