Rob Laux returns to Clayton High School Swimming, previously serving as Head Coach for the Boys (2021-present, 2012-2014), and for the Girls (2003-04, 2004-05). Coach Laux brings 35+ years of coaching experience to the deck, coaching summer league, high school, college, but primarily through USA Swimming. He has had the privilege of coaching athletes from beginners, through High School State Championships, Zones, Sectionals, NCSA/Junior Nationals and Olympic Trials. Following 15 years with Rockwood Swim Club, he has coached at FAST since 2012, and primarily works with seniors groups and National.

Coach Laux promotes team inclusiveness, ensuring that each athlete is a valued and respected member of the team, and that the team’s success is dependent on each individual. While performing at a high level is always kept in sight, he has been most moved by the character and sportsmanship his Clayton athletes have displayed to each other and their competitors. 

Coach Laux has been teaching physics at Clayton High School since 2001. He is married and has two children.
