He also coached and founded the prestigious Germantown Academy Aquatic age group team which merged with the Foxcatcher Swim Club from 1985-2000.

[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.

After his service in the army, he started work as a precision machinist, married his wife Molly around 1958, and eventually had four children, Steve, Rick, Becky and Bert.

[2][6] Shoulberg began coaching at Germantown Academy in 1969, and remained there through a highly successful 45-year career, retiring in 2015.

[14][15] Shoulberg also coached Katie Riefenstahl, a six-time University of Texas All American, and Sierra Schmidt, a University of Michigan swimmer and 2016 World Cup Medalist in freestyle who swam for Shoulberg's Germantown Academy from 2012-14 where she competed in the 1650 and 500 freestyle.

[17] Olympians he has coached include Fran's sister Maddy Crippen (2000), who would later coach at Villanova, Alex Fung (2000), a backstroke and IM Olympic competitor for Hong Kong, Pathunyu "Guy" Yimsomruay (2000), Dave Wharton (1988, 1992), David Berkoff (1992), Sean Killion (1992), Karin LaBerge (1980), Dan Jorgenson (1988), Trina Radke (1988), Erika Hansen (1988), and Sue Heon (1984).

[2] Like many Hall of Fame Coaches Shoulberg was characterized by several of his swimmers as tough and at times a disciplinarian, and could be intimidating.

"[4] Shoulberg offered swimming clinics on a global basis over many years, in countries that include Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Guam, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Russian, Spain, Thailand, Israel, Finland, and the United States.

[2] He helped Coach the August 1988 Pan Pacifics in Tokyo, and the World Championships in Perth, Australia in January, 1991.
