Head Coach - Dustin Holland

Head Coach Dustin Holland will be going into his 20th year of summer league coaching. He has been the head coach of the Mesquite Marlins for the past 6 summers and a head high school coach for the past 11 years (5 in San Antonio and 6 as the Head MISD Coach).  When he started coaching the Marlins, there were only 62 swimmers on the team and last year the Marlins grew to 163 swimmers. His passion and work ethic is an example to all who are coached by him. Every child that comes to the pool is important and will get Coach Holland's best!
