Head Swim Coach

JR. Jensen is currently in his ninth season as the swim coach at LSCC. However, his swimming ties to Lake Shore Country Club began 36 years ago with his start into competitive swimming as a ten and under, followed by many summers as a guard at the club pool and then as a coach from 1988 to 2003. JR. also swam for Fairview High School and for the Edinboro University.

JR. and his wife Kimberly coach the Fairview High School swim team. For the last 23 years, they have coached the team to 19 District 10 titles, numerous region titles, four National top five rankings in the National Team Power Point, nine high school swimming All-Americans and a consistent winning record with sportsmanship and team cohesiveness as a top priority. JR. brings the same passion of the sport combined with his unwavering commitment to a positive and respectful team atmosphere to Lake Shore Country Club.

"After one meeting, we were able to plan almost the entire reception. We got a great price even though we weren't even members!"
