The role included coaching at Tucson Ford Dealers Aquatic Clubs. He was instrumental in growing the La Paloma membership before leading in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited and honored to join the University of Arizona\u2019s swimming and diving coaching staff,\u201d Castillo said. \u201cAs a lifelong Tucsonan and Wildcat, I understand the important place that the University of Arizona\u2019s swimming and diving program holds in the community.
