Dick Shoulberg was an American Hall of Fame club, Prep School, and U.S. Olympic swim coach best known for coaching swimming at Pennsylvania's Germantown Academy in Fort Washington. From 1969 to 2015, he led the Germantown Academy men's team to two National Prep School Championships, and the Women's team to five women's Prep School Championships. He also coached and founded the prestigious Germantown Academy Aquatic age group team which merged with the Foxcatcher Swim Club from 1985-2000.^[2]

Born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, in Norriton township outside Philadelphia, Shoulberg swam for Norristown High School where he graduated and then did a year of additional studies at Malvern Preparatory School. At Norristown High, Shoulberg helped manage the Track Team under Coach Pete Lewis, and had dreams of coaching as a profession.^[4] Despite choosing swim coaching as a career, Shoulberg has noted he was not an exceptional high school swimmer, never broke a standing record, and never swam for a college team. A Norristown area native, he lived within a two-mile radius of East Norriton township in the Philadelphia area his entire life.^[5] After High School, he served in the U.S. Army from 1958 to 1959 and then from 1961 to 1962.
