Meet Erich
Erich Rohmann, BASc, P.Eng. NCCP Level 1 Certified Swim Coach
Erich is passionate about swimming, and about helping others love it too.
He swam competitively for 17 years with the Region of Waterloo Swim Club and the University of Waterloo. After varsity swimming, he stepped away from the sport for a long time, having lost much of his love for it to injury and burnout.
Falling back in love with swimming
Joining a Masters swim team slowly reignited that love, stronger than ever. Erich found a community, an amazing coach, and a sport that both grounded and energized him.
What started as a way to stay in shape grew into a drive to compete. Weekly practices turned into Provincial and National Masters swim meets, including a gold medal in the 100 Back at the 2026 Masters Nationals. Early morning sunrise swims in the bay turned into 1 km and 5 km open water races, and even a relay across Georgian Bay.
From engineer to full-time coach
With his competitive background, Erich was often asked to demonstrate drills and help other swimmers with their technique. He soon realized that helping someone else "get it" is one of the most rewarding experiences there is.
In 2025, he left his career in engineering consulting to become a full-time swim coach, helping swimmers find their passion and reach their peak performance. Today he coaches children and adults with the Collingwood Clippers Swim Club and the Georgian Bay Squall, and now, here at LC.
