Fort Dorchester Athletics is excited to introduce our new Patriots Head Swim Coach — Coach Jacob Weber! 🏊♂️🇺🇸
With 40+ years of coaching experience at the high school, college, and club levels in Wisconsin and Illinois, Coach Weber brings an incredible legacy of excellence to Patriot Nation. Throughout his career he has coached:
🏅 Junior National qualifiers
🏅 State champions & state record holders

For the past 24 years, Coach Weber led high school boys and girls programs in Deerfield and Libertyville, Illinois, developing elite swimmers while building strong, competitive teams.
