University of Pittsburgh swimming and diving coach Chuck Knoles<\/strong>, a fixture at Trees Pool for more than a quarter century, has announced his retirement.<\/p>\n

Knoles joined Pitt in 1990 as head men\u2019s swimming and diving coach. In 2002, he assumed the additional responsibilities as head coach of the women\u2019s program.<\/p>\n

During his 26-year tenure, he compiled 326 victories, making him the all-time winningest men\u2019s swimming and diving coach in school history. His ledger with the men\u2019s program also includes 11 Big East Conference championships.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than 25 years, Chuck Knoles has been synonymous with swimming at Pitt,\u201d Athletic Director Scott Barnes<\/strong> said. \u201cBesides his impressive longevity, Chuck\u2019s tenure has been highlighted by many important milestones and achievements. We are incredibly grateful for his contributions, not only to Pitt swimming but to Pitt Athletics as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been blessed to have the opportunity to work at one of the finest universities in the country for the past 26 years,\u201d Knoles said. \u201cIn my more than two-and-a-half decades here as a head coach and educator, I have been able to assist hundreds of young men and women transform into phenomenal people who have brought honor and success to themselves, to Pitt and the swimming and diving program.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I am retiring from coaching at Pitt, I prefer to think that I am embarking on the next chapter of my life that will allow me to spend time with my family and friends, including my mother in Arizona. I will now be able to spend that valuable time with those I love\u2014time that we as coaches can\u2019t always seem to find.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited for Pitt swimming and diving and their future in the ACC. With a multi-million dollar renovation set to be underway in just days, the program\u2019s future is very bright. I want to thank the University and the Athletics Department for allowing me to help shape and lead the swimming and diving program over these many years. Hail to Pitt!\u201d<\/p>\n

Knoles was a six-time Big East Coach of the Year. He was also recognized with the American Swimming Coaches Association Award of Excellence. In 2013, Knoles was inducted into the Pennsylvania Swimming Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Under his direction, eight Pitt swimmers achieved All-America Honorable Mention status, including the first two women in program history.<\/p>\n

In addition to accolades in the pool, Knoles also coached 35 recipients of the prestigious Blue-Gold or Panther Awards, the highest honors bestowed upon Pitt student-athletes.<\/p>\n

A national search for Knoles\u2019 successor will begin immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur most important responsibility is positioning our student-athletes to reach their greatest potential academically, athletically and personally. Those will be the values that drive our search for a new head coach,\u201d Barnes said.<\/p>\n
