Utah Swimming and Diving has announced the addition of Herbie Behm as its new assistant coach this afternoon.

Behm arrives in Salt Lake City after working with the Phoenix Swim Club and the US National Team. Most recently, he coached the 2015 Pan-American Games record holder in the 100 fly, a 2016 US Olympic Trials finalist and a 2016 Olympic Games qualifier.

“I am very excited to welcome Herbie to our coaching staff,” Utah head coach Joe Dykstra said. “He is a dynamic, smart, and creative young coach who has had great success with elite level athletes at the Phoenix Swim Club and with the US National Team these past few years. He brings an analytical mind and an innovative approach to our staff which will help challenge us to become better and push the program reach new levels of success.”

Behm has coached athletes to state championships, National Age Group Records and qualifying times from regional events all the way to the Olympic Trials. Some of his athletes have represented their countries internationally, winning medals at World Cups, Pan-American and Commonwealth Games.

A graduate of Arizona State University, Behm received his B.A. in Psychology while minoring in Communications. As a swimmer, he was 10-time High School All-American as well as a former state and NAG record holder.
