On heels of 2021 National Championship, Eddie Reese to retire after 43 seasons at Texas

AUSTIN, Texas — After 43 seasons and on the heels of his 15th National Championship, Eddie Reese is retiring as the head coach of the Texas Men's Swimming & Diving program. Reese's extraordinary run leading the nation's premier program has been unprecedented. Hired in 1979 by Longhorn Legend Darrell Royal, who at the time was Athletics Director, Reese went on to set the standard in collegiate Swimming & Diving, posting 42 straight conference titles, 41 straight top-10 finishes, as well as 12 NCAA runner-up finishes and six third-place showings to go with his 15 national titles.
