Practices are tough and he works you hard. But he’s the best coach I’ve ever had, he is constantly checking in on how you are doing and is very easy to talk to.

One of the worst humans. Had hope in the beginning, but this slowly dissipated as his true character became clear. He has little respect for his athletes and their physical/mental wellbeing. He is sexist, treating the boys better than the women. Has no empathy and constantly lies. He can give 10,000 meter sets, but no other coaching or life skills.

I've trained under some of the most repected and most intelligent coaches in the country but coach is truly something special. Being a college coach takes more than just being ready to tackle swim season. You need to be a father figure for a group hungry swimmer who want to succeed at the highest level and plays the role perfectly. Love this man

Coach has an incredible ability to turn his massive store of swimming knowledge into results. Although there's no lack of hard work, his focus on swimming smarter and more efficiently is what took my swimming well beyond any of my goals. He's the best coach and mentor I will likely ever have.

Never met a man who cared more about the group he coached, was more motivated to achieve what he set out to do, nor more loyal and dedicated than Marc Benvenuti
