In 2011, Frank Busch stepped down as the head swimming and diving coach at The University of Arizona to take over as the Director of USA Swimming’s National Team. Busch and USA Swimming announced on Tuesday that he will retire from that position on September 1st of this year. U of A won both the men’s and women’s National Championships in 2008 under Busch.
“In my coaching career I believed that every athlete’s personal growth was as important as their success in the pool, and that’s an underlying current of everyone that works in the National Team division,” Busch said in a statement.
