Accessible Cares About Academics Easy To Get Along With Respectful To Players Understanding
Rick is an incredibly respectful and approachable coach. His strength as a coach lies in the coaching staff he builds around him and his emphasis on his swimmers outside the pool (i.e., academics, leadership, kindness). There's a lot of potential with the program, and I always felt that Rick could've done a better job at maintaining momentum with recruiting + refreshing the program itself to stay on top of new trends in swimming. Overall, solid coach and one that builds a fun environment to be around.

One of the things that was unclear about the recruiting process was the scoring squad. When the class of 2016 was being recruited, they were told that everyone would make the scoring squad but that proved incorrect. Over the past four years, the team has significantly grown specifically on the women's side. This year, the women's team will be comprised of 27 female swimmers and divers which leaves at least six swimmers off the scoring roster (if the three divers compete at Big Easts).
