Women’s swimming and diving coach retires
After 37 seasons at SMU, head women’s swimming coach Steve Collins has announced his retirement.
SMU enjoyed much success under Collins’ leadership including 17 conference championships and 35 NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championship appearances in 37 years. He guided the team to 15 top-10 finishes with nine of those also being top-5.
“SMU Swimming and Diving owes so much to Steve Collins,” athletic director Rick Hart said. “He has established a championship tradition and culture here on the Hilltop and has shaped the lives of hundreds of student-athletes.”
