Roric Fink<\/strong> has been hired as head coach of the Austin Swim Club in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

He takes over the Austin Swim Club for former coach Chris Coghill<\/strong>. Fink posted on social media about it: “I\u2019m excited to announce that I have been given an amazing opportunity to continue my coaching here in Austin. Head Coach of Austin Swim Club. A great opportunity at an club full of amazing people, coaches, and swimmers. #excitedforthefuture<\/span>”<\/p>\n

Fink was most recently associate head coach at the University of Texas. He was an assistant from 2012-17 before becoming associate head coach for the 2017-18 school year and through 2019-20 under head coach Carol Capitani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In April, he was let go<\/a> by the University of Texas, which declined to comment on the change.<\/p>\n

Texas won its eighth consecutive Big 12 conference championship this season. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019-20 season was cancelled right before the NCAA meet. The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) awarded 11 Longhorns with All-American honors.<\/p>\n

Prior to his time at Texas, Roric Fink was an associated head coach at Missouri and an assistant at Arizona in the college ranks. As a club coach, he coached the Tucson Ford Aquatics and with the Sun Devil Aquatic Club as well.<\/p>\n

Fink has coached collegiately since 2003, spending eight seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Arizona from 2003-10. He also built up one of the nation’s top aquatics clubs — Ford Aquatics in Tucson, Ariz. — starting in 2000. Prior to that he worked with the Phoenix Swim Club from 1995-2000, while assisting with the U.S. National Team. He worked with athletes such as Jeff Rouse<\/strong> and Gary Hall, Jr.<\/strong>, who represented Team USA in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta as well as Klete Keller<\/strong> in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.<\/p>\n

During his time as a coach he has coached and developed NCAA Championship level athletes. He coached Arizona National Champions Lacey Nymeyer, Dave Rollins, Tyler DeBerry<\/strong> and Marcus Titus<\/strong> with the Ford Aquatics program before going on to compete for the Wildcats. His club won the USA Swimming National Championships in Irvine, Calif., and the Men’s Team Championship at the Western Zone Sectional in Portland, Ore., in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
