How to Build a Team for World University Games from the Ground Up?

We sat down with Team USA’s World University Games coaching staff for swimming, including head women’s coach Jacy Dyer, head men’s coach Peter Richardson, and Director of Swimming Ian Quinn. Without funding from USA Swimming on this trip, the staff has had to do everything on their own, including selecting a coaching staff and roster as well as completely funding the trip themselves. Each member discusses what that has looked like so far and what it will look like moving into the Games.

If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor of Team USA going to the World University Games, email Ian Quinn at iquinn@unca.edu
