Jake Zuckerman, Swim team coach, grew up in Highland Park, Illinois. He started swimming in high school after a knee injury ended his hockey career. He later swam at the Division III level at Oberlin College, specializing in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle. These days, he sticks to marathons and the occasional triathlon. Jake is very motivated to grow our competitive swim program here at the J, and can’t wait to see how far we go.
