Texas Longhorns men’s swimming and diving head coach Eddie Reese is officially hanging up the towel after 43 seasons leading the program, most recently to a 2021 national championship.

Across his career at Texas dating back to 1979, Reese has taken home 42 consecutive conference titles, 41 consecutive top-10 finishes, 12 NCAA runner-up finishes, six third-placing finishes, and a whopping 15 national titles. It’s expected that Reese won’t step away from coaching entirely, as he’ll return in an emeritus role with the program.

“Where we are today and where I am today is made possible by everyone who has swum here before and is swimming here now,” Reese said in a news release via Texas Sports.
