John Diercks at Lawrence North. Dave was a part of their 1st
team at LN earning one of the schools first 4 year lettermen
awards. While competing against Coach Dan Johnson
and the Hamilton Southeastern Royals Dave learned to
respect and appreciate Coach Johnson’s enthusiasm. HSE
defeated a heavily favored LNHS team for that sectional in
1993. Soon after that the respect for Coach Johnson
turned into a friendship bringing Dave to Hamilton
Southeastern in 1993. As the story goes it was a great fit
and continues today. Although Dave appreciates
the sport of swimming along with the values, ethic and
respect it brings to the table he however continues to coach
due to the athletes the sport brings in.
He feels honored to have been a part of these
athlete’s lives. According to Dave, each year
there’s a different group that keeps the tradition at
SSC and HSEHS going. Each group is as good as the next.

afforded some great kids to coach in high school. SSC is a
family, they are dedicated to do the right thing for the
right reason. Dave’s daughter Bailey, a 5th grader at
Sand Creek Intermediate is a major influence in Dave coaching
club. He couldn’t be more happy and proud to have
his daughter become a part of the SSC family last
year. He knows she’ll have the same opportunity to
grow with the values and ethics afforded the other swimmers
that have come through the program. Dave is married to a
very understanding Vicky Dunbar. Vicky is a member of
the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept. and truly
understands the commitment swimming requires. Dave’s
