Camp Coaches

Mike Keeler

Head Coach

Directing camp this summer is the University of San Diego Head Swimming Coach, Mike Keeler. Coach Keeler has done a remarkable job at USD in the development of San Diego's swimming and diving program since taking over as the Toreros head coach in the fall of 1998.

Mike Keeler

Head Coach

Keeler's student-athletes have shattered virtually every school record. Under his guidance the Toreros won back-to-back team titles at the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference Championships (2000 & 2001) and made the school's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Championships (2003)- setting the table for San Diego's successful bid for membership in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 2005.

Keeler, a two-time PCSC Coach of the Year, has a track record of recruiting and developing outstanding student-athletes. In USD's six seasons in the PCSC under his direction, 10 different Toreros established conference records while 30 were recognized as all-conference performers. In 2003, USD placed 38th nationally at the NCAA Championships behind the efforts of then-freshman standout and All-America honorable mention Ashley Swart.

Altogether, Keeler has coached 44 conference champions, 100 all-conference selections and 101 conference all-academic honorees during his tenure at USD.

Prior to USD, Keeler served as assistant men's swim coach at Purdue University in Indiana for five seasons. Keeler held assistant swim coaching posts for the women's swimming program at Purdue (1993-94), similar men's and women's positions at the University of Miami (1991-93) and at Michigan State (1988). Through the 1989-91 seasons, Keeler was the assistant men's coach for Michigan State.

Throughout his extended collegiate coaching career, Keeler has recruited and trained men and women who have scored as high as third at the NCAA Championships. At Purdue, Keeler assisted in coaching the Boilermakers to a 34th place finish at the 1998 NCAA Championships with five individuals being awarded All-American honors. At the 1997 NCAA Championships, the team placed 19th with four All-Americans and four championship finalists. At the conference level, in a four year span, Purdue produced 12 Big Ten Champions, 55 Academic All-Big Ten honorees and eight national academic All-American recipients.

Besides his collegiate coaching experience, Keeler worked as camp director and guest speaker at the Elite Olympic Development Camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs; Co-Camp Director at Michigan State (summer, 1993); head senior coach for Hurricane Aquatics (summer, 1992); and as head coach for the Spartan Swim Club (summer, 1989).

A 1984 graduate of Central Michigan University, Mike earned his B.S. Degree in Physical Education. He went on to earn his M.S. degree in Physical Education, with an emphasis on Coaching and Athletic Administration, at Michigan State in 1992. He is currently a member of the United States Swimming, College Swim Coaches Association, and the American Swim Coaches Association. He was the lead-author of "Biomechanical Analysis: Stroke Frequency/Velocity Testing Protocol", an article that appeared in the United States Swimming Magazine "Coaches Quarterly." Mike and his wife Michele have three children, Matthew, Mitchell and Mayce.
Shawna Ghausi

Assistant Coach

Shawna started her coaching career at USD, with head Coach Michael Keeler in 1999.

Shawna Ghausi

Assistant Coach

After her first two years, she spent a season as the assistant swim coach at Rice University, and the next year at UC San Diego, as the women’s water polo assistant coach. In 2003, Shawna returned to USD, where she spent the next 5 years helping build the Torero program.

After getting married and having a son, Shawna left USD in 2008 to raise her family. Shawna returned to coaching at local Steele Canyon High School in 2019. There, she was responsible for the girls and boys swim program, as well as the junior varsity girls water polo team. During the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shawna provided an outlet for her athletes to be physically active, emotionally supported, and socially interactive. The 2021 accelerated season highlighted best times for every swimmer, both on the JV and Varsity teams. More importantly, that experience allowed for connection and movement during a very isolating time.

Shawna has worked with some of the best swim coaches in the country. She spent a summer at Stanford University, working with the men’s swimming coach, Skip Kenney, as a camp coach. The next summer was spent at The University of Michigan coaching with Jon Urbanchek and Jim Richardson. The following summer she was the head counselor at UCI, working with head coach Charlie Schober. These experiences strengthened her coaching skills and taught her the importance of professionalism in elite level competitive swimming.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Swim Camp at University of San Diego

4 Reviews

My daughter was a little scared about going, but as soon as she arrived and talked to some other girls, she had a great time. She loved the activities with the coaches, and the work outs were perfect! The coaches told her a few tips and she really listened and learned throughout the camp.
My daughter was so proud and all smiles at the end of camp. She talked about what she learned and things she improved on. She made great new friends and shared fun experiences both in and out of the pool. She asked to return again next year.
Lunch in the cafeteria was fabulous! The coaches were fabulous!
June 20, 2024: This is a high quality camp that is run well
