Chuckie Roth became SBCC's head coach of Women's Swimming & Diving in 2014 and will begin his 26th year of coaching overall in 2024.

Roth has coached the Vaqueros to eight consecutive WSC titles. In 2023, the Vaqueros finished fifth at the CCCAA State Championships for the second straight year, with Isabella Urlando winning two state titles and setting a state record.

The Vaqueros went 21-1 in 2020 before having their season cut short midway through by the Coronavirus pandemic. SBCC won 135 straight WSC meets before Cuesta ended the four-year unbeaten streak on Feb. 29, 2020.

The Vaqueros won their fifth straight WSC title in 2019 with a 26-0 conference record and 53-4 overall. They're 192-6 in the last five seasons and 115-1 in WSC action.

Roth has a sparkling 253-20 overall record (.927). He's 149-5 (.968) in the WSC with four Coach of the Year awards. His teams finished fourth, fourth, seventh and 10th in the state from 2016-19.

Roth also coaches the San Marcos High girls water polo and swimming & diving teams. He was recently honored by the National Federation of State High Schools Association as the California Girls Swimming & Diving Coach of the Year for 2018-19. He was selected on his coaching performance during the 2018-19 school year, lifetime community involvement, school involvement and philosophy of coaching.

In the swim season of 2019, Roth’s girls team won the Channel League and placed seventh at the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 finals.

The Vaqueros started a diving team in 2017 and Gina Jacobson dominated, winning the WSC championship with an unbeaten record and taking the State 1-meter title with a State-record 246.85 points. The Vaqueros finished fourth in the State Swimming & Diving Championships in 2016-17 and seventh last year.

In the spring of 2014, Roth helped create the first women's swim team in school history and they took 12th in the CCCAA State Championships. The 2015 edition, led by two-time State champion Rachelle Visser, captured its first-ever WSC title and placed 8th in the State meet. Roth was named WSC Coach of the Year.

In 2016, the Vaqueros took fourth in the State meet.

In 2017, Roth guided the women's water polo team to its first State championship with a 31-3 record. They were second in the State in 2017, fourth in 2018 and have a glossy 94-10 record in the last three seasons.

Roth came to SBCC with a wealth of experience at all levels of aquatics coaching. From 1997-1999, he served as the assistant coach of the men's and women's water polo teams at UCSB. In 1999 he was promoted to associate head coach of the women's water polo team. In his three years with the women's program they placed as high as 5th in the country and developed 9 All-Americans.

In 2000, he moved to Temple City High and resurrected the boys' team while starting the girls water polo program. In 4 years, he won three league championships, 2 CIF championships, coached 6 All-Americans and sent 9 athletes to swim and play college water polo at various schools. He was also recognized as CIF Division 3 coach of the year in 2003 and 2004.

Roth has worked with the Santa Barbara Aquatics Club for 16 years, coaching all age groups. During that time, he has developed several USWP All Americans, made 5 Final Four appearances, and won two national championships.

In 2004 he moved back to Santa Barbara and took a job teaching and coaching at San Marcos High School. The San Marcos aquatics program was in disarray and had not won a game in two years. His teams have improved consistently during his tenure and continue to develop All-Americans and promote confidence in all players he coaches. He will continue teaching and coaching at San Marcos High in addition to coaching swimming and water polo at SBCC.

Roth graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 1997 with a degree in history and a minor in exercise health science. In 2002 Brian earned his Masters degree from Azusa Pacific University with a degree in education with an emphasis in exercise health science.  In 2011 he was selected as the San Marcos High Teacher of the Year. Later that year, he was chosen as the Santa Barbara County Distinguished Educator of the Year. In May of 2012 he was recognized as Sportsperson of the Month by PresidioSports.com, which covers sports online in the Santa Barbara area.

Brian lives in Goleta with his wife, Leslie, and their three children, Indiana, Kumani and Utah.
