Divers need both time on the boards and in the gym, building the strength and control needed for a powerful hurdle and clean entry. That’s where Coach Julie Warsinskey, who joined the AquaBombers in 2023, directs her focus.
In 1998, while majoring in mathematics at West Virginia University, Warsinskey joined the Mountaineer Swim & Dive Team after a friend encouraged her to try out. She became one of three female divers on the team, developing her skills and love for the sport.
Over the years, Coach Warsinskey moved with her husband, Justin, from West Virginia to Massachusetts, where she became a certified yoga instructor, then to Vermont, and finally to West Chester, Ohio. In 2015, she joined St. Xavier High School as an Algebra 2 and Calculus teacher. In 2020, she embarked on a personal fitness journey, utilizing the school’s impressive weight training facilities. Drawing on her diving experience, new lifting techniques, and expertise in body alignment, she now leads strength and conditioning for the St. Xavier Diving Program.
Julie and Justin stay busy with their two kids, Jamie and Jordan, shuttling them to soccer and gymnastics. In their downtime, the family loves to ski and travel, finding new adventures together.
