*No quote*These ten new athletes will arrive on a campus that has recently made several upgrades to its aquatic center, including a new $65,000 video board.
The facelift at the pool comes amid other positive momentum for the NCAA Division I program, which included the reinstatement of athletic scholarships for the 2024-2025 season, four years after they were eliminated in a budget measure.
“These renovations are key to our program continuing to get back to its championship makeup,” head coach Alex Lewis told SwimSwam. “The university and athletic department are continuing to invest in our program and we couldn’t be more excited for our future.”
Lewis took over the program in November 2021. He was able to hire a full-time assistant coach and a graduate assistant last season; in the first three years of his tenure as head coach, it was just him and a diving coach.
The UWGB men finished 6th out of 7 teams and the women finished 6th out of 7 teams at last year’s Horizon League Championships. A year prior, both teams finished last in the conference.
