Boys Swimming

Coach Max Butler

Coach Max Butler became Head Coach of Boys Swimming in 2025, building on his experience with the school’s program since 2023.

"Ever since leaving the competition space, I have always wanted to stay involved. Coaching allows me to do that. Being a part of the Kent community means I get to share my knowledge and passion for a wonderful sport with a team of young athletes who are driven, hard-working, and bring great energy to the team."

Coach Butler brings extensive expertise gained from competing throughout high school and as a four-year Division I athlete at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he trained alongside top-level coaches and athletes. With multiple individual state championships in high school and several conference titles in college, Coach Butler now brings his passion and deep knowledge of swimming to Kent.

"Kent's program focuses on building technique and skill in each stroke discipline as well as developing sound racing strategies for competition. Through continuous improvement and increasing challenge, athletes will see themselves transform over the course of the swim season. We hope for our athletes to learn what it means to escape the training "comfort zone" and recognize how and when they can push themselves that little bit extra for real improvement."

In addition to leading the boys swimming team, Coach Butler is a member of the Mathematics Department.
