Coach Jonny Booth is the CEO/Owner/Founder of Northside Swim Academy. He has a very strong passion for aquatics and has an extensive background in working in the aquatics industry and competing on a high age group level from the years of 2007-2015.
Coach Jonny Booth swam competitively for a club team (YWCA Flying Fish) in Evanston IL. He competed at a regional, junior olympic and age group state level in sprint freestyle, backstroke, and sprint butterfly. Due to mental health struggles in his adolescence, he stopped swimming competitively sophomore year of high school. This was one of the most difficult decisions he'd have to make at that time, but it was the right decision. Even though he stepped away from the competitive scene, he never lost passion for aquatics. He always knew that he would venture back into the aquatics world at some point in his life.
This feeling became a reality after Coach Jonny graduated from high school from an alternative high school chain called Fusion Academy. He started working in the aquatics industry in the summer of 2017 as a swim instructor and has been expanding his aquatics coaching experience ever since. He has had the opportunity to swim instruct hundreds of kids and adults, coach hundreds of kids on competitive swim team, and also teach lifeguarding and swim instructing skills to people coming into the industry. Coach Jonny's niche lies in coaching competitive swimming at an intermediate and advanced age group level, adult learn to swim lessons, and master swim coaching. Coach Jonny has a deep and never-ending passion for coaching others and helping others reach their goals.
In July of 2024 Coach Jonny Booth graduated Georgia State University with his Bachelor's of Science degree majoring in psychology and minoring in entrepreneurship. He plans to get his doctorate in sports psychology and implement sports psychology into Northside Swim Academy. He also plans to create many other different companies and help young entrepreneurs like himself get their businesses off the ground under Northside Enterprises LLC.
Northside Swim Academy was officially started in August of 2022. Coach Jonny continues to put his 110% effort into growing this company. His goal is to make sure as many people as possible have access to high quality, affordable, and easily accessible swim lessons.

Coach Jonny Booth has had the opportunity to work with professional football player Ito Smith! Coach Jonny was able to help him swim, starting from not knowing how to swim at all. He worked with him for about 5 days with 4 other children and within those 5 days, Ito went from not knowing how to swim at all for being able to swim a full 25 yards of the pool non-stop. Coach Jonny plans to use his experience and passion for helping others learn how to swim and pass it on to the Northside Swim Academy Staff.

Hi my name is Jaidi DuBose, I currently reside East of Atlanta in the Decatur region. I am 22 years of age, studying nursing. I learned how to swim at the ripe age of 3 and haven’t left the water since. I began competitively swimming around age 12 and was able to get offered a swim scholarship and swam collegiality as well. While in college I became a lifeguard and swim instructor as well. Water and kids are my two favorite things in the whole wide world so to be able to be an instructor to the youth is a dream come true. I plan on being a positive impact for the community and a mental health advocate for those struggling with learning how to swim. I know how frustrating it can be but with patience and diligence I know me and the trainee will be able to do anything.

Hey y'all! My name is Charde' (shar-day) McCalop. I am a 19-year-old nursing major at Georgia State University, born and raised in Atlanta. Although I am young, my history of swimming goes way back. I taught myself how to swim at the age of 4, and when I turned 8, my parents put me on a swim team. From ages 8 to 15, I swam competitively until I injured both of my shoulders. Despite ending my competitive swimming career, my love for swimming never died. At 17, I obtained my lifeguard certification, and since then, I have worked for various companies and managed different pools. During my time giving lessons, I mostly worked with adults who have no experience in the water, teaching them to swim, and children who wish to improve their competitive skills. I have always believed it is very important for people to know how to swim, and it will never be too late to learn. I am proud to be a part of the staff at Northside Swim Academy and cannot wait to meet our future trainees.
