Introduction

Trinity University has had a winning swimming and diving program ever since the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference began to sponsor the sport in the fall of 1998. Between then and the 2018-2019 season, the Tigers captured eleven SCAC men’s team titles and a remarkable nineteen SCCA women’s team championship wins. This tradition of excellence came as the result of a lot of very hard work on the part of approximately 200 student athletes who, over the years, set high standards and worked hard to achieve goals that they and their coaches established for each team’s members. While Trinity’s swimmers have consistently gotten the job done in the pool at the end of every season, much of their success has been the result of the guidance of the coaching staff that has led them on their journey through those seasons. Success is not an accident. In order for swimmers to compete well when it counts, they need a good coach to help them prepare to achieve their goals.
