Dan Colella – Head Swim Coach, Duke University
The fifth head coach in school history, head coach Dan Colella has helped the Duke men’s and women’s swimming and diving squads make great strides in each of his 13 years at the helm of the program. Under Colella’s direction, the Duke men and women have made appearances at the NCAA Championships each of the past 10 seasons and continue to strengthen their reputation within the Atlantic Coast Conference, all while adding top recruiting classes from around the globe.
Development of talent and strong performances in the postseason have become a hallmark of Colella’s tenure in Durham, as the program has produced at least one ACC individual champion at seven of the past 10 conference championship meets. Duke has also built toward success on the national and international levels, sending representatives to the NCAA Championships, USA Swimming National Championships, U.S. Olympic Team Trials, the FINA World Championships and the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games.
The Blue Devils continue to establish a legacy of excellence in the pool, boasting 32 All-America selections over the past 13 seasons. Duke swimmers and divers have also captured five NCAA individual titles and totaled 46 podium finishes at the ACC Championships under Colella’s watch. The program record books have been completely re-written in that time, with the oldest standing school record dating back to just 2010.
