Paul Mueller

Assistant Coach

CoEd Varsity Swimming And Diving

A member of the Faculty in the Social Studies Department since the Fall of 2020, Paul joins the swimming & diving program for the 2021 season! He graduated from Boston College in 2007 with a dual-degree in History and Secondary Education, and he has been a coach at SOLO Aquatics in Haverhill, MA ever since.

Coach Mueller attended Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, MA where he was the captain of his swim team during his Junior and Senior years. While at Boston College, he played on the rugby team, which was nationally ranked for his Junior and Senior years.

During his time as a coach, he has had the privilege to coach a variety of athletes with a broad range of abilities, leading them to meets such as Olympic Trials, Phillips 66 Nationals and Junior Nationals (SCY and LCM), USA Swimming Futures, Eastern Zone Speedo Sectionals, and New England LSC Senior and Age Group Championships.

He bases his coaching philosophy upon the fundamental principle that swimming is the ideal sport to develop a balanced person.

"It is my firm belief that swimming is the ultimate crucible that prepares athletes for life outside of the pool. At its foundation, having great technique produces great swimming, and swimmers achieve this through a deep commitment to daily practice and personal reflection.

I believe that every moment in swimming, whether at practice, a meet, or a team function, is an opportunity to learn and grow. Swimming demands purposeful action and order of one’s time to maximize every moment. Swimming teaches the need to be devoted to a team, a community, and, thus, a cause bigger than oneself. Finally, swimming offers the chance to develop the right perspective, a sense of self-awareness, and finding success sometimes in the slimmest of margins."
