Misha Young

School Team Coach
Development Group Coach
Fitness & Conditioning Coach

Misha is thrilled to be back at the pool for another season, bringing 8 years of coaching experience to the Development groups.

His coaching journey began at Esquimalt Recreation Centre with the West Shore Aquatic Club, where he quickly discovered his passion for mentoring young athletes and fostering a love for swimming and sport in general. He finds inspiration in working alongside the other talented coaches, which keeps him learning and striving to do his best every day.

Although Misha has retired from competitive swimming, his passion for sport remains strong. He has transitioned into triathlon, where he has represented Canada at 2023 Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Currently, Misha is training to compete at the ITU World Championships. When he’s not coaching or training, Misha enjoys capturing photos —so if you see him with a camera, be sure to smile!
