Meet the coaches

Madison Robinson

Assistant Coordinator & Head K–4 Coach

Madison began swimming at a young age, inspired by her two older sisters. She competed for Bixby High School, where she earned the role of team captain during her senior year. After graduating, Madison continued her passion for aquatics by lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons at various pools throughout the Tulsa area, all while earning her EMT certification.

She went on to serve as the Head Swim Coach and Aquatics Coordinator at the Mahaska County YMCA in Oskaloosa, Iowa, leading the program for two years before returning home to Tulsa. Since then, Madison has earned her Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design from Full Sail University and proudly joined the Trojan swim family.

Now entering her fourth year coaching with Jenks, Madison has had the privilege of learning under Diego Henao, a foundational force in the Jenks swim program whose dedication, leadership and impact have shaped generations of athletes. His mentorship has been instrumental in Madison's growth as a coach, and she carries forward his commitment to excellence, discipline and team spirit.

Carlos Henao

Head Advanced & 5th/6th Coach

Coach Carlos began his swimming journey at a young age in his homeland of Venezuela. His love for the sport grew through years of dedication, competing in numerous national and international swimming events. Alongside swimming, he also excelled in water polo, representing his hometown at the national level. During college, he spent two years competing in collegiate swimming, followed by three successful years in Masters swimming and open water competition. He also volunteered for three years teaching swimming to visually impaired individuals.

Coach Carlos started his coaching career in 2017 at Miller Swim School, where he taught swimming lessons and adult classes, and coached the Junior Swim Team as an assistant. His passion and leadership quickly earned him the role of Head Coach for the Miller Swim Club (MSC), where he led both the Home School Team and the Junior Swim Team. Under his guidance, MSC won back-to-back Parks and Recreation Championships in 2022 and 2023.

Coach Carlos earned a medical degree in 1996 in Venezuela and practiced medicine for five years. Outside the pool, he enjoys reading, music (where he's known as "DJ Carlos" at events) and, of course, swimming. He brings his wealth of knowledge and vibrant energy to our young swimmers, and we're confident he will make a lasting impact both in the water and in their lives.

Cecilia Howell

Assistant Coach

Ceci's love for swimming began at a young age, when her parents enrolled her in swim lessons while her older sisters were at swim practice. When she moved to Oklahoma in 2007 she continued at SwimTulsa, where she swam as a state champion and sectional swimmer in a career that lasted over 12 years. At the end of high school Ceci made the difficult decision to stop swimming and turn down offers to swim in college.

Ceci taught swim lessons through SwimAmerica for 5 years, as well as SwimTulsa's white (novice) team for 2 years, and served on several Oklahoma Swimming committees, helping plan events across the state. She began coaching for JTSC in 2021 and credits much of her professional growth to the guidance and mentorship of the JTSC coaches. Ceci graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Oral Roberts University in May 2025.
