William & Mary Introduces new Assistant

The William and Mary athletics department announced the hiring of Jason Memont today as an assistant swimming and diving coach. In this position, Memont will assist first-year Director of Swimming McGee Moody in leading both the Tribe's men's and women's swimming and diving squads, pending final approval from the College’s Board of Visitors.

Memont joins the Tribe after spending the last two and a half years as head coach of the YMCA North Shore swim team in Ipswich, MA. Overseeing all swimmers age 5 to 18, 20 of his swimmers went on to Division I programs under his guidance. He also coached five YMCA qualifiers during his tenure.

An accomplished collegiate swimmer at Rochester Institute of Technology from 1996-2001, Memont won the Empire 8 conference title in the 200 breast stroke in his senior season. He also counted two third-place finishes at conferences among his accomplishments, in the 200 IM as a junior and in the 100 breast as a senior. He raced to NCAA provisional marks in the 200 IM and 400 IM and holds five school records (200 IM and all four relays). Named varsity captain in 1999 and 2001, Memont also served as an assistant coach in his final two seasons, helping three national qualifiers. He was also a five-year member and assistant coach of RIT's nationally ranked club water polo team and made the Dean's List four times during his collegiate career.

Memont, who holds a B. S. in Information Technology from RIT, spent four years as a high school technology teacher at Haverill High School in Haverill, MA. While there he also served as the men's varsity tennis coach for two seasons.
