Southwestern Oregon Community College

Coach Bullock has coached the Men’s and Women’s Swimming programs at Southwestern since their inception in 2014.  The teams have found success in and out of the pool by focusing on a culture of excellence grounded in core values and expectations that members commit to live out.  Under Coach Bullock’s leadership, many athletes have received NJCAA and CSCAA All-American honors for their performance in the pool.  More notably, the team has taken pride in celebrating academic accomplishments each year including numerous individual and team CSCAA Scholar All-American and NJCAA All-Academic Team honors as well as multiple athletes graduating from Southwestern as valedictorians of their respected classes.  Coach Bullock continues to build on the foundation that has been established from the inception of the program and is excited to provide an opportunity for swimmers to continue competing at the collegiate level.  The program is one where team matters.  It is a team that strives for excellence in all they do, a team where culture matters, and a team where everyone’s future matters. Coach Bullock’s highest priority is striving to have a positive impact on the lives and futures of the student-athletes she has the privilege of coaching, teaching, and mentoring.  The program is centered on facilitating growth of the whole person to strive to achieve their greatest potential in the pool, in the classroom, and in life. The culture of the team has produced 4 Runner-up Team National Championships: the men in 2017, the women in 2021, and then men and women in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
