About Us!
Who We Are
NTS was co-founded in 2007 by the sister and brother team of Jessica and Joshua Jock. After several years of bouncing around from school to school such as Salmon River, Brasher Falls, SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton for facility use, TRIBS now holds practices at both Canton MS and Massena HS pools
Did you know that we are Thee American Eels or why the American Eel was chosen as our mascot? How about, what does TRIBS stand for?
Please read our Complete Mission Statement to learn why the club was founded and how things developed from the beginning.
Head Coach
Coach Joshua Jock has been with Northern TRIBS Swimming since the beginning. Josh paved the way for NTS to become a not-for-profit Corporation and is now the President of the Board for Northern TRIBS Swimming, Inc. Josh has also been the Asst. Swim Coach at SUNY Potsdam (2009 - 2012). While at Potsdam Josh instructed the Bears Swim Club's Competitive Swim Program, directed the Potsdam Swim Camp, acted as the Summer Camps Aquatic Director, and directed the SUNY Potsdam Triathlon. In the past, Josh has coached HS swimming (2 years), officiated HS and collegiate swimming (3 years), and also competed in Masters Swimming (since 2008). Josh swam during his college years (1998 - 2003) while earning a BA in Theatre Arts and a MST in Elementary Education from SUNY Potsdam. After graduating, Josh traveled with several theatre companies across the States ending up in California for 1 year teaching Stagecraft and Production at a University. In the fall of 2005 he returned to N.Y. to teach Kindergarten. Since co-founding TRIBS in 2007, Josh has built the lesson and stroke school program we use today. As the head coach, Josh has coached many of the club swimmers to the Adirondack District Championships, of which five of his swimmers went on to participate in the Eastern Zone Championships. Josh has also been a Long Course and Chort Course Age Group Zones Coach (2015 & 2016) and he has led TRIBS to becoming recognized as a Level 2 Club by USA Swimming in part of the Club Recognition Program.
