SwimSwam Podcast: Tyler Fenwick on How UVA is Recruiting During Quarantine

OnΒ SwimSwam Podcast, we’re giving you an in-depth listen at all things swimming. HostΒ Coleman HodgesΒ welcomes guests and guest co-hosts alike to get perspective on our ever-changing swimming universe and break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.

We sat down with Tyler Fenwick, the men’s/women’s swimming associate head coach at the University of Virginia. Fenwick gave us a look into how the UVA team is staying active and in-shape during this quarantine period and even mentioned that the team is swimming currently, they just can’t be coached by the staff.

Fenwick also dives into the emphasis UVA has put on recruiting and how that’s changed since COVID. Fenwick mentions there have been more zoom calls and face-to-face interactions, something he thoroughly enjoys and plans on continuing even after the quarantine period is over.

He won’t be an assistant for long. A head coach position is definitely in his future especially when DeSorbo gets lured to Cal or Texas.

Not sure why he would leave a powerhouse like UVA when they are in the running for future NCAA titles. He loves what he’s doing in Charlottesville, why change?

I don’t see DeSorbo or Fenwick going anywhere.

Tyler mentioned that perhaps some of these virtual meets will include local in-person opponents as well. That would solve the problem, I bet. I also wouldn’t rule out the possibility of the NCAA reversing course on this – as long as there is a certified official running the meet and perhaps other requirements to ensure veracity of results.
